Faulkner is the product of a community board, which makes him suspect from the get-go. Faulkner doesn't seem to be able to string together a coherent thought without first loading it up with equivocation. I can't see how having him as chief of staff helps the Cabrera navigate the machinery of the City Council.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554264138811233395.post-58133738979616808702010-12-21T05:49:59.691-08:002010-12-21T05:49:59.691-08:00So when does 'saying something worth quoting&#...So when does 'saying something worth quoting' or getting your mug in citywide press make you a good legislator? <br /><br />How about sponsoring good legislation. How about ensuring your constituency receives its fair share of city services.
