School Committee and all that

In all this City Hall goings-on I forgot to mention that there are 3 seats 'up for grabs' on the School Committee as well.

The terms of Vice Chairman Gordon Bechtel, Steven Cole and Dana Hooper all expire this year. They rotate terms, which seems like a better idea to me than the way the City Council is set up.

This system allowed Steve Cole to run for mayor last time without having to surrender his seat on the School Committee.

If Cameron, Holaday and Shanley can only run for one office, that means they're all off the council, no matter what - if Ed decides to go ahead and try for the corner office, that is. I have not spoken to him about it as I have Donna Holaday.

So Ward 3 and potentially Ward 4 will get a change of councillor.
