<div>Donovan,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>How do you know that the objection came from the incumbents
seeking re-election and not the two members whose terms are not yet
expired? Aside from that, I agree with you that the seat should have
been filled as soon as it was legally possible to do so regardless of
proximity to the filing deadline or person to be appointed.</div>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>In my opinion it is unethical
behavior to use the power of your office to rig the ballot
as to not have any serious competition on election night. Kit Craine
should have been appointed long ago, and for other members of the city
council to keep her (or any new appointee) off the ballot so they
have a better chance of reelection seems unbecoming of an elected
official and this clearly moves AGAINST the best interests
of the people of Moscow to have as many qualified candidates as
possible on the ballot. </blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>In my opinion, the incumbent candidates
on the City Council have demonstrated they are willing to use the
power of their office to make damaging decisions against the
people of Moscow, like preventing a quality candidates like Kit
Craine from being on the ballot, for their own selfish interests and
personal gains.</blockquote>
