<DIV>I ordinarily don't weight in on city council issues, because, like Dr. Weitz, I can't vote in city elections. And, apparently unlike Dr. Weitz, I don't have a horse in this race. But I am curious about the composition of the council and hope that knowledgeable city politicians can answer some of my questions.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Since health issues have caused Mr. Hill to step down how does a replacement assume office? Apparently the mayor can appoint a replacement, in this case I believe Jon Kimberling has been tapped. (Sure beats having to actually run when you have a pal who can just say the word and Bob's your uncle, you have a desk, a job title, and a pay check from the city.) I understand that another way would be to select the person next in the elective process; I think it would be Jerry Schutz. Is it true that in either case, the sitting council members vote on the replacement person.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is it possible that the timely/untimely recall petition came out (lets forget all the flim-flam excuses which we all know are goofy) and imagine a world in which three *liberal* (their word not mine) council members are removed and three more conservatives - for want of a better word - replace them. With Joan Mack and perhaps Jon Kimberling already in place, the city council would be a real Republican repository. </DIV>
