Many thanks.

To those of the 2200 Ward 1 voters who chose me, thank you. If 201 voters had turned their ballots the other way it would have been a clean sweep of the incumbents.

Now we must all support the two new council members, John P. Dehen and Matt Look, and wish them well in their effort to reform and better manage the City. There is much they can do, even when speaking out as a minority against a majority vote, or giving us contested votes with their reasoning, to replace the too frequent past pattern of unanimity.

Matt and John have my best wishes for success.
