For some time now Matt Cunningham has been posting to his Red County blog about rumors of Harry Sidhu running for the 4th District seat when Norby leaves in 2010. Many of us have long believed that race is Tom Daly's to lose, so Harry "I will run for anything" Sidhu would be clearly out of his mind to try for it. http://www.redcounty.com/orange-county/2009/02/4th-supe-district-watch-harry/
Matt now reports that he cornered Harry at the Muzeo event last week and Harry admitted that yes, he is running. Um.....why did we just re-elect this man to a City Council seat he clearly does not care about?
Worse, there are also rumors of Lorri Galloway considering the seat. While I would love to see Lorri take her Eva Peron act elsewhere, the District seat that currently controls serious grant money for her own shelter is not where I want her, thanks anyway. Lorri's reported interest in the Supe's seat explains why she has been working so hard (aided by newly minted compadre Lucille Kring) to expand her feifdom. Veddy interestink...
I have not seen a formal announcement from either party, and we need to keep in mind that neither Galloway nor Sidhu actually live in the District they wish to represent. Both would have to relocate to the flatlands....and how likely is it that they will leave the hills for a home where they have to actually live with the consequences of their failed Council policies? What are the odds that they are willing to move shopping carts out of their driveways to go to work in the morning? Only time will tell. In any event, Tom Daly will mop the floor with either of them, it is a moot point, but I would prefer it if they had to leave their Council seats to run....
