Who resigned?
Who resigned?
Robert Anders, which is too
Robert Anders, which is too bad. Robert was an excellent Commissioner and an equally excellent chair when he served in that capacity. I'm very sorry to see him go.
Well, I don't live in the city...
.. and I'm not a Republican, so I guess I'll sit out this one.
