Stay-at-Home Mom Has At Least Five Votes

Diana Morganelli, the stay-at-home mom whose nomination to the Parking Authority was panned by all three members of the Human Relations committee, appears to have five votes. This includes Adam Waldron, chair of the very committee that rejected her. By the time Wednesday night rolls around, it could be unanimous.

Other Council members who have committed to vote for Morganelli are Council President J. Willie Reynolds, Eric Evans, Bryan Callahan and Mike Recchiuti.

There is no question that Morganelli is qualified for this unpaid, volunteer position. She knows how to park a car.

This became a mess for two reasons. First, two of the three members of the committee that interviewed Morganelli,Adam Waldron and Cathy Reuscher, are new to Council. Second, they made the mistake of listening to Karen Dolan. Though she is the most senior member of Council, she is also the most erratic.

The only two members of council opposed to stay-at-home moms, are the two women on Council.

Morganelli can undoubtedly snag Cathy Ruescher's vote by pretending to be a tree. Dolan, who should know how to count votes despite her inability to file nonprofit tax returns and pay City debt, can pretend she supported Morganelli all along.

Five of seven votes is 71.4%. That's better than you, John!

    This kind of response should tell people all they need to know about what Donchez is up against. Thanks.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
