If John Gonder ever spots Kevin Costner and Donald Sutherland seated on a bench in front of the City County Building, I advise him to immediately go into hiding.
Meanwhile, the amazing and probably unprecedented story of Gonder, a city council candidate with a genuine platform and the ability to express it intelligibly, sans cliché, continues to captivate those of us in favor of thinking in the future tense.
From A Proposal:
The purpose of seeking this office is to provide a voice and a vote on the City Council that secures progress for our city. I have mentioned a few of the things that, for me, connote progress: rental housing improvement, increased homeownership, environmental concern, support of independent businesses and an infusing of the spirit of sustainability into the decision-making process.
John, please tell us: How did you get approval from the local Democratic party to go around spouting ideas?
