Who???
Candidate #43, Alon Bassok, an egghead academic (a transportation planning PhD candidate at UW) just stole the show!
Speaking in a monotone drawl, and at first not speaking into the microphone, he proceeded in his 3 minutes to tell homey anecdotes (years ago he almost ran over his prof at music school eliciting the quip from his instructor: you drive a car like you walk a bass) and then made his political agenda clear: low-income housing and transportation.
Crisp and concise. The council should let this unknown advance to the interview round.
OMG! Charlotte Marie-Grace Carroll, you are PRECIOUS!
