I have been having trouble with my computer off an on since Saturday, so I neglected to write anything about my friend Nick Fontana, who was just picked to replace Daniel Patterson.
I’ve known Nick as long as I’ve been alive, I think. He was an intern for Mo Udall way back, and ended up taking over for a fellow employee who took a long term leave. He’s still a tremendous admirer of Udall, and if he only learned five percent of what Mo had to offer, District 29 will do okay.
Nick was my sponsor when I took my first communion way back when. So, if any of y’all start talking trash, you’ll have a blogger to deal with.
NB: A few of you may be wondering why I didn’t comment on the selection process. I’ve got plenty of stories and opinions about it. However, my brother was on the committee that culled the nominees, so I thought it would be better not to cause him trouble by my bloviations.

Glad you know Nick Fontana, and wish him well in the LD 29 seat:http://tucsoncitizen.com/community/2012/04/23/attorneyjudge-nick-fontana-appointed-to-ld-29-house-seat/
Those pesky personal connections can be an occasional stumbling block can’t they! Wondered about the silence.
Nick Fontana voted in favor of electronic billboards yesterday. Que loco! How sad! Special thanks to Sharon Bronson. Guess “good credentials” doesn’t mean you understand anything. Que lastima, (sigh)
Another opportunist. This time on the democrats side. oh joy!
