Joe P. if you spent an hour or two talking with Steve you'd like him.

I could talk to anyone for two hours and like them.  That's the problem here, everything is about popularity and less about qualifications.

He really is a very nice guy.

Nice guys are a dime a dozen. Reserve them for birthday parties and barbecues. See DiBileo

He's educated and well liked at the school. I'm just not understanding why you don't like him. Have you ever met him and talked with him? 

Have never met him or talked with him. Blame the Evans camp for trying to get him into a council position in the embarrassing manner that they did it. He's a political piece now. Branded. Chris Evans ass kisser. 

Seems like this is very political for you, too. It goes two ways.

What's the other way? Turn your head? First, "crony ass-kisser" Bartnicki into a zoning position, then what?  Listen, I get it. It's politics.  The council seat debacle was an eye-opener for the Evans faithful. Among many others, I was quite adversely impacted with the fundraiser she threw three years ago for $20 a head at the Community Center regarding some big announcement, which announcement was never announced. It was the fundraiser where she spent 20 minutes expressing to us how the sun shines out of her son's ass. No sale on the sun. Not out of his ass and if these crony endeavors continue, less out of her's. She playing with fire. Trust me.

The Evans' have the power now. They earned it. So what if Chris is or isn't behind the appointment. That goes on all the time in politics. You appoint your friends and people you can trust. You would do the same thing.

Suffice it to say that Janet Evans has little or no control over either her husband or her son, either or whom at any given time can sh!t out a humiliating  mouthful to expose how vulnerable she is to their whims. That's not to say that Dave and Chris Evans are not very loyal to her, they're just more loyal to their own ego-driven big mouths and don't care how they undermine her credibility. They've been doing it to her for years now. They can't keep their mouths shut. It's that simple. I've seen them both in action. Not enough political savvy between them to make fill a thimble.
