I think he didn't run for re-election because his friends on the council, Mayor Ransburg, and Councilwomen Teplitz and Thetford lost and he knew he would face the same opposition and probably lose. His stated reason for not running for re-election obviously wasn't sincere if he said he didn't run because he wanted to spend more time with his family, yet now he wants to go back and forth to DC every week. He voted for the “garbage” tax didn’t he?

I talked to a freshman member of the house this year and he said "I can't imagine doing this job if you had young children at home. You would sure miss out on a lot." Is Channel 47 in bad financial shape? I thought I heard that the reason Morris didn't run again for the council was that he had some pressure from 47 not to.

I say anyone who's a politician that is willing to do the right thing in face of difficult circumstances is okay.
