Keith says; I do tip my hat to an individual willing to take a step back 
from, and a critical glance at, his outlook and how it manifests. It does 
make Mr. Velez appear sincere. I simply do not think he is evolved enough to 
grab the reins of the County Board seat and lead us. 

Mike Opat has always seemed unpretentious and sincere, in a little boy sort 
of way. He was a guard at the Work House, and worked his way up. Disarming 
and humble, like Mpls. CM Barb Johnson, who returns my business calls, on 
Saturday noons, while bustin' suds at her kitchen sink. Yet he somehow rested 
control of the County Board from The Mac Daddy. And we are all better off for 
that upset. I want Mike at the helm!
