Zennie! Just as you mention wanting change for District 1, doesn't District 3 deserve change? I'd love some examples of how you see NN "getting better", because in my six years of being actively involved in the community, I've definately seen her get worse. I've endorsed Greg Hodge, although I think Sean Sullivan would be fine - he's a wild card, imho, but as I've said since last October - ANYONE BUT NANCY NADEL. Cheers, Joanna
