I said this in person before, but:
Being more conservative is not the same thing as being more libertarian.
This probably means Mayor Dean is also less libertarian on social issues.
Specifically, I know she supported an anti-pan-handling ordinance which
limited the freedom of speech.
Unfortunately a city government is not merely an economic entity. It has
considerable authority over our personal lives as well and the more
conservate a mayor is, the more likely they are to exert it.
This leaves us with no clear choice, unless there's going to be a third
candidate that we don't know about yet.
