GVEA board elections

The Ester Republic (i.e., me) has officially endorsed Tom DeLong for GVEA board of directors for District 2 (said endorsement to appear in the upcoming May 2008 Republic). I haven't talked with the other candidates, but neither will most of the people voting--they'll look at the information presented in the packet and make their judgement based on that. And based on the practicality of the conservation-encouraging pricing measures he describes there and DeLong's conduct during the G&T episode (among other things), I feel very comfortable supporting him.
