A Vote For Healey Is A Vote For France: Beth France thinks pretty highly of Ben Healey's record as an alder. And she's taking Dan Kruger to task for impugning it.

Kruger wants to diminish Healey's considerable achievements with unfounded allegations. He wants to slander staunch support for citizens' rights as blind ideology. He wants to label partnership with community organizations as negligence. He needs to be told that leadership cannot be measured in numbers of e-mails sent to students. True leadership is found in the partnerships it makes and the people it inspires. It is found in vision. Yale students need an alderman who will represent them on the board, not point a patronizing finger at it.

In short, they need Ben Healey.

It's time someone brought up Kruger's own ideology - that of an anti-choice, anti-affirmative action, ONHSA-ite masquerading as a mildly progressive liberal Yalie with a chip on his shoulder towards the illusory bogeyman of union bureacracy.   ¶ 9:15 PM
