This is the place where I find strong agreement among the commissioners. Things will almost certainly not always be so convivial, she added. I intend to work with Mary Jo. I may not always agree with her. She's certainly not going to always agree with me.

In fact, before Kilroy's election, when all three commissioners were members of the GOP, there were differences in perspective and philosophy, Shoemaker continued. Nevertheless, both current Republican commissioners expressed worries about anticipated future conflicts along traditionally partisan lines over fiscal issues. For her part, Kilroy praised both of her colleagues on the commission for making her feel welcome and familiarizing her with the routine of the new job. Their assistants, their staff, have been great. I don't feel excluded or left out.
