Well part of the job of an elected official is to answer (or have their
staff answer) mail (including email) from constituents. When I talked with
Neva Walker about a month ago, I suggested she get the house IT staff to
help her with organizing filters for her email. After all that's what IT
staff is for is tech support.

Did CM Herron also ask you to write on his behalf on this? CM Herron seems
to have a fair number of spokespersons. Robert Lilligren (his opponent)
has acted as Herron's spokesperson once by request.

It's really helpful to list members to know when an elected official
opinion is being sent officially via a list member. In this case, I was
confused, and am thankful to Karen Forbes for raising the question.
I'd also like to second David Brauer's thanks to Carol Becker for doing the
thankless task of defending City actions. I also agree with David that
more elected officials themselves should be more direct about defending
their own actions on this list.
