Isserlis a solid choice

I would like to congratulate Mayor David Condon for appointing Nancy Isserlis to the position of city attorney. I have known Nancy and her husband and daughter for many years, once being a neighbor. Her daughter and ours became best friends at Wilson Elementary School, and even though we later moved to a different part of town, the girls stayed close.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Nancy and her husband, Ken. We socialized in their home and they in ours, and I can vouch for Nancy’s integrity and honesty. She will not coat her counsel to the mayor and City Council with what her clients want to hear.

I urge the City Council to unanimously endorse the mayor’s appointment, and when they do, stand back and watch the other shoes drop off the edge of the desk.
