Silver Lining


Rochester City Councilwoman Amy Blenker and School Board candidate Gary Mullen-Schultz went down in defeat. Blenker was pretty much a non-entity in the City Council. Mullen-Schultz is too liberal for the Rochester School Board.

Mullen-Schultz's defeat was particularly embarrassing to the left-of-center former P-B columnist. After the primaries, the failed school board candidate wrote the following on his website.

Even though the results were very, very close, I ended up taking first place. The only reason I was able to do this was because of your outstanding support. The fact that more than two thirds of the voters chose someone other than the incumbent shows that many members of the community want change.

Mullen-Schultz has yet to call Fred Daly, "the incumbent," to congratulate him on his reelection to the school board.
