Councilwoman Carmany has run into a problem in her first week of weblogging.  She posted her opinion on the Truth and Reconcilliation Project, but now at least one commenter is questioning how she arrived at her opinion, and is berating her for offering same.  To which she responds...

"...I guess I need some advice from more experienced bloggers. I began this blog to respond to repeated urging from you to get out there as a public official and explain the reasoning behind my official stances and decisions. My post about the TRC was an attempt to do exactly that -articulate reasons why I have taken the position I have on this issue. How can I fulfill that charge and at the same time "reserv[e] judgment until the outcome this process is offered"? You got me into this, so your advice and suggestions are welcome!

My advice is for her to keep doing exactly what she is doing.  State an opinion... cite sources... explain... ask for input... consider the input... alter position if necessary... attend the Council meeting... listen some more... consider... vote.

I am just lying in wait for all of those folks who will be coming out in opposition to a proposed raise (N&R) for our School Board.

Go ahead, give it your best shot.
