I've just posted up a commentary by Stephen Trinkaus on all the local elections. He gives the perspective of a liberal activist - one who has participated in the local process and knows what is happening from close observation. Stephen ran for City Council two years ago and won the respect of those on the right and left, including his opponent, Gene Knutson. Stephen analyzes all our city and county choices.

Foster did not make any deal with Mark in exchange for his endorsement. There was political speculation last week on this and on Friday I posted the question. Today, through several reliable political sources, I have learned that Foster's endorsement was clean. Foster himself has no comment other than his letter, which will print in the Herald at some point.
