Back to the future....

East Hampton Dems have shown unusual wisdom in proposing a slate of seasoned individuals with solid community track records. The Nominating Committee led by Betty Mazur is to be congratulated. It will be interesting to see if the full committee has the good judgement to ratify those choices in Convention on May 15. Cantwell is an even-tempered, fair-minded grown up with years of municipal management experience. Kathy Burke Gonzalez has provided able leadership for Springs School District and commands respect. Job Potter has been a dependable fighter for the fragile east end environment. There is intense pressure to dump Cantwell in favor of Zach Cohen who ran a good race in 2011 but he isn't even a registered democrat! Dems have gotten themselves in hot water in the past by nominating non-democrats. They don't wear well. What do you think?
