UPDATE: Mary Mancini over at Liberadio generously linked me in a post she wrote on devoting more energy to turning back the "conservative takeover" of Metro government by voting for more progressive candidates in the upcoming August election. Since she has opened that door, we need to add Metro School Board candidate and local Republican Party/social-conservative darling Kay Brooks to the list of those English Only supporters seeking office. In fact, she supported Crafton's first, unrevised, harder-core resolution without much qualification.

  1. How come David Briley was listed as absent on this vote. He was there, wasn't he?
