I would love to have been a fly on the wall at the Daily Herald editorial board meeting to witness the “independent spirit” and “fresh ideas” that Dave Seiffert apparently displayed. You wouldn’t know such a thing existed from the responses he gave to the Herald’s candidate questionnaire, which can be viewed here:
Here are some excerpts, which show that Seiffert is more concerned about listening to the Administration’s needs than to the community:
“Would listen to the Administration and evaluate their recommendations…
We would have to listen to Administration …
Listening to the Administration to give their recommendations…
There may need to be some difficult decisions, but we need to communicate those to the constiuents that are represented and get a feel from them….”
(please note: spelling errors were made by candidate)
Yes, I can see why the Herald was wowed by Seiffert’s “Independent Spirit” and “fresh ideas”.
