Can I give the cutest candidate award to Alyx Pattison, 2nd Ward hopeful? I believe she is in a close race, so if elected she would certainly be the best-looking in Council.
Hard to see where she stands on development, the proof is usually in the pudding. On the other hand, she hasn't taken a crazy anti-developer stance at this point, which is good.
I think I like her opponent Brian Hopkins a little more as a candidate - dude worked with VOA to create his own plan for the upcoming Lake Shore Drive re-do, he's an avid cyclist, and I believe he has been involved with Gail Spreen and SOAR, possibly the most level-headed, pro-development neighborhood group in the city.
I think we can all agree that either candidate would be an upgrade over Fioretti.
