Assembly update

The candidates for assembly have been narrowed down to 7 finalists, among them Mike Musick (yay!); the Republic will not have interviews with any of the candidates in part because of the sequence of events beginning January 12 (add backed-up plumbing to the list--perhaps it wasn't Friday the 13th but the full moon that was the problem?). Mike is knowledgeable about planning, zoning, and building issues, so I'm hopeful for his chances.
