Since Joe Oxley withdrew his name from consideration for County Chair, I have been calling for the two major factions of our party to come together to lead the party.
I am still calling for that.
Operation Bid Rig should have destroyed our party. It did not. The exist of our long time leaders should have crippled us. It did not. What happen is that two strong groups were revealed.
The grass roots wants an open process that invites participation in our democracy. The professionals want to manage the power and money of that government. Working together these two groups could give us a great county government. Without that balance we will have less than that.
Over the last 2 years, Jim Giannell has organized and empowered the grass roots. He has given us Lillian Burry, Anna Little and Andrew Lucas. They have given us a fresh start and a new spirit.
The professionals didn't like it.
Adam Puharic offered the promise of a united party. Grass roots and professionals working together. But the devil is in the details, and Adam's details look like Fred II or worse.
Adam, if you really want a united party, embrace Jim Giannell and offer to be finance chair. I bet he accepts.
