“Chad” — 9/29/2012
Learn more about candidates Chad Anderson (“Family Man, concerned parent, active citizen, good neighbor”) and Shep DeVore (“shameless creep,” “notorious slumlord”) in last weekend’s “Chad” script. Now that’s a debate I’d like to see.
Politics is a wonderful way to make loyal friends: that’s one of the rewards. It’s also a fine way to connect to the real world around you. We tend to live in our own heads, in a swirl of prejudice and lovely notions and borrowed ideas, but when you run for office and start to think about the actual work of government, you have a chance to learn about real life —— about money, about poverty and illness and the education of children, about the construction business, about bureaucracy —— and that is another reward.
