I'm blogging from the 6th floor of the City County Building where people are gathered for the anticipated mayoral news conference about the Supreme Court decision. Most talk has centered on the issues related to what is meant by serve until their replacements are named. I'm pushing for a quick, public, and open process. Let's get these offices and office seekers before voters as soon as possible. --Mark Harmon
