I would be wary of Cid. During the time he was creating his centers plan, he also made some rumblings that bus was better than rail to connect them. He also opposed streetcars not because of their operation, but because of the overhead wires and their visual impact.
Laura Morrision would be a disaster on the City Council. As OWANA leader, Morrison tried to shut down the Mean-Eyed Cat even though it is across two major arterials from any OWANA homes and never received any complaints.
Cid voted for the re-zoning to keep the Cat in business so I'd support him (or Cravey) over her in a heartbeat. Electing Laura Morrision would be like electing Jeff Jack in a skirt.
Personally I am extremely wary of Cid, I think he's looking at this as the next step in a larger plan and is probably to developer friendly for my likes. I mean he's a nice guy, but I think he sometimes acts before thinking through everything. I mean look at the city plan he tried to push without anyone else backing him.
whatever happened to talk of Cid Galindo making a run?

Dunno; these are just two I came across in quick succession this morning. He may still be planning on running (I hope he is).
