I'm only familiar with a few of them. Peduto's #2 Dan Gilman seems like a very competent and nice guy. Jessica in that office can be pretty aloof but seems to know her stuff. I'm concerned about O'Connor's crew. A couple of them have been around forever, first under Bob then through Doug's term. They were there when the Neighborhood Needs money first hit the table. At public meetings Lynette, Connie and Judy spend a lot of time chatting amongst themselves and talking in half-sentences and code when they address constituents. <br /><br />The PG quoted somebody saying that $400K of NN money is still lying around due to good stewardship in the council offices. Bull. Every district needs a ton of work.
