Highlights:

[The primary is between]"..forces aligned with County Mayor Mike Ragsdale or the anti-Ragsdale faction."

Um.... not all of us. That's a pretty broad statement to make, but this article doesn't show a lot of depth of research beyond reading the KNS. I can name at least three candidates for the Fourth that aren't aligned with factions, would not align themselves with factions if elected, and would hold everyone's feet to the fire with respect to the law. But apparently, that's not interesting ink.

"The Commission has voted to look at the primary results from Feb. 5 in picking replacements ...Picking a primary winner as a placeholder (bestowing incumbency) means picking between the winners of the Democratic or Republican primary"

Unless they pick a primary non-winner as a caretaker. :)

Sure, as long as the knives don't come out....

So far, the candidates in Fourth I've met and discussed issues with that appear to be removed from any factions or development interests (correct me if I'm wrong) would include:
- myself (duh)
- Elaine Davis
- Logan Brummitt
- Walt Wojnar

Given the way everybody says the primaries would go (Finnbar, Cate/Kuhlman, Tramel/Shouse), I'd like to see CC give strong consideration to the last three for caretaker appointments.
