If you're looking for engaged leadership, you're probably going to have to look harder than Chris Birch.  The guy barely attended community council meetings when he was on the Assembly and did the bare minimum to get by.  And he won't have Bill Starr to actually do the worm required to understand issues and then explain things to him.  And I looked on his website...what new ideas does he have?  This is just another guy who wants to go soak up a nice salary out of the public eye down in Juneau.
