“Mission Accomplished”
City Council member Robin Eschliman won’t run for reelection. I have never been a big fan of Ms. Eschliman, but geez, I didn’t realize how many people are eager to see her leave. They really won’t like that she said she may run for higher office some day. Senator Eschliman? Mayor Eschliman?
I’m especially amused by Ms. Eschliman’s use of George W. Bush’s unfortunate “mission accomplished” claim. It didn’t work for the President, and it doesn’t work for Eschliman. If she were trying to make a wry joke it would actually be pretty funny. Unfortunately I suspect she was serious.
Robin Eschliman held an at-large seat on the Council. Any early front-runners among her potential replacements?
EDITED TO ADD: I should mention that the early comments on that LJS article don’t make sense in the context of the article that’s there now. Apparently there was an earlier version of the article that only mentioned a press conference. The LJS just decided to modify the article after the press conference.
The Comments

Is that the only picture they have of her? Not very flattering.
I admit I am absolutely addicted to LJS comments.

I figured this would be top of the page at Lincolnite, as she’s always been a popular topic here.
I appreciate her efforts on the council, but I won’t miss the way she goes about her business. We could use less hostility and patting-yourself-on-the-back and abrasiveness on the council.

I cannot believe with all the rancor that various posts dealing with Robin E have caused over the years, that only 2 people commented about her Mission being Accomplished.
