According to the Chamber of Commerce and Councilwoman Jessica Bradshaw, the council voted last night to advance Navreet Kang, Tom Grant and Corine McDaniel to the next step of the process of deciding whom will take Don Monty's council seat.
I have to admit I was a bit surprised to see Corine McDanial's name on the original list, given that she had expressed the desire to step back from governmental activities when she opted to not run for re-election. I am not surprised the council voted to advance her, as she is a known quantity.
I am not particularly surprised with the choices of Grand and Kang either, as both are active in civic affairs as well as bringing a business viewpoint to council. I think that weighed against the other strong contenders, George Maroney and Brent Ritzel, as both have a long track record of working with not for profit organizations, employees of which are already over-represented on council.
