re: Dirksen - You prefer his "careful" approach? You mean his climate denying? His unwillingness to take a more forthright approach to our region dealing with climate change? To move forward on alternative transportation options? And I suppose this means you want careful movement on urban growth and other Metro-related issues; golly, we can't move too fast, gotta be careful. Don't want to act as soon as possible on these issues.

Rosenthal is a scientist and someone who has worked with government enough to know how to move forward in a strong, productive manner. Metro could really use him. But you prefer someone who is "careful" while demanding other offices be filled by the kind of bold leadership you reject in this race?
