Today the Lincoln Neighborhood Alliance released its report card for City Council candidates. The grades were based on a survey (PDF) distributed to the six finalists. The grades are:
- Terry Werner: A
- Dan Marvin: A
- Shawn Traudt: B
- Ken Svoboda: C
- Robin Eschliman: C
- Mark Koller: D
Even a cursory glance at the grades makes one thing clear: the Lincoln Neighborhood Alliance is biased toward more liberal candidates. That isn't at all surprising. The political scene in Lincoln has for several years been painted as a battle between "business" and "neighborhoods," with "business" acting as a proxy for Republicans and "neighborhoods" for Democrats. It's a false dichotomy, of course, but it remains a popular division.
If I get more time I'll try to fill out the survey on my own. I glanced at it, but I haven't had time yet to actually write in my responses.
