Also, it was told to me that Ms. Wagner recently started a family.

From there Felix is right, you can run for a lot of things, and spend your time more comfortably contemplating it.Bram Reichbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05620172942925293407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043156705049478245.post-7182239064806033762011-01-10T22:58:46.961-05:002011-01-10T22:58:46.961-05:00Felix:

Forgot that he will need something to do at the end of 2012 due to term limits.<br /><br />I know that concept for planning an Executive run. I am not a big believer in the one candidate did it this way so it becomes 'the way.'<br /><br />I would think that one would be in just as good a shape to run for Exeuctive if you are a State Rep or the Controller. I understand that one would be on a countywide ballot, but State Rep's get way more press than a County Controller in my opinion. <br /><br />What is Michael Lamb going to do this year?

Anyone considering a county controller run is probably not thinking of running for Mayor of Pittsburgh, but of setting up himself or herself for an eventual County Executive run. It worked for Onorato.Felix Dzerzhinskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07860738558123466207noreply@blogger.com
