Who should replace David Gorn?

One well-known candidate (John Muller) has already thrown his hat into the ring (if that’s the correct metaphor for an appointed position) to replace David Gorn on the Half Moon Bay City Council. The deadline for applications is Thursday, July 6, and candidates will be interviewed on Tuesday, July 11.

Independence Day Eve is as good an occasion as any to start a discussion of what kind of person, and specifically who, should be appointed to fill the position.  It is a better occasion than most to remind everyone that we’re going to be enforcing strict civility rules in this discussion.
