Rosendahl Reconsidered

When Bill ran for office, one place he found little support was among the editorial pages of our city's major newspapers. Some of them were downright harsh in their condemnations. Frankly, I felt they just didn't "get" Bill. I didn't think they understood how genuine he was. How passionately he cared about the issues. How inherently optimistic he was. How much he really believed people could work together, reach consensus, and do the right thing.

So it was more than a little gratifying to see one of the doubters begin to reconsider. Robert Greene, who covered the campaign for the LA Weekly and now writes for the LA Times - which has a habit of disagreeing with Bill - wrote a lengthy blog post this week taking another look at Bill.

It's an interesting read. Here's the link.
