Unfortunately we don't have a lot of good choices. A woman with no governmental experience at all, but a clear agenda, vs a conservative who is apparently thoughtful and ethical but not necessarily completely aligned with Eugene values. 

I do know that Kitty Piercy has not been able to rein in the city manager over the last 12 years; that the city manager's agenda has been behind many of the shady deals we see coming out of our non-existence City Hall;  and that Piercy has endorsed Lucy Vinis. Therefore I will probably hold my nose and vote for Mike Clark.
