Comments on Muni League Ratings

Can you quantify 'significant'?

How can one take seriously the biased recommendations of a bunch of uninformed pimply-faced kids??

Nothing against kids or pimples in general, but it's unfortunately true. The Municipal League long ago lost any semblance of credibility.

Pimply-faced kids? They wish. There aren't many people under 50 involved in the Muni League candidate endorsements. Maybe a couple of people in their mid-30s, but no "kids". Perhaps you are thinking of another organization?

There's some things you can accuse the Muni League of, but "uninformed" isn't one of them. They are almost too informed. Zzzzz...

Municipal League still rates candidates based on their perceived (emphasis on perceived) abilities and overall competence, not on their policies.

Personally, I'd rather vote for an "adequate" candidate working FOR the policies I support than an "outstanding" candidate working AGAINST them.

@4 - surprisingly I agree with you.

And Muni League is way 20th Century. So last century.

The Muni League interview annoyed me. Other endorsement interviews asked concrete questions about actual policy issues - the Growth Management Act, the Brightwater sewage-treatment facility, ideas for improving traffic congestion, etc. - but the Muni League asked me all total bullshit questions. "What kind of management style do you have?" "Are you a collaborative sort of person?" That kind of touchy-feely crap. I was prepared reasonably well to discuss policy issues, not my favorite color or what kind of tree I'd be.

Unsurprisingly, between my annoyance at the questions and the fact that my brother-in-law had died in the wee hours that same morning, I only got an "adequate" rating from them.

I kind of take them with a grain of salt, anyway, because the same person will go from an Outstanding to an Adequate in the course of two years, depending on who is on the interview panel, and what kinds of questions they ask people in their background check (which is really a weird thing - they call people who knew you in high school or worked with you ten years ago and ask them personal questions about you).
