John’s thoughts on Ron McCullagh:
Our next Council Member scheduled for this series: Linda Milhaven.Ron definitely has a big business background and mindset, as reflected in his involvement in the Chamber of Commerce. He deviates periodically from the Chamber’s general program toward his pet issues (such as downtown parking, noise ordinance, etc.), but knowledgeable residents are for the most part skeptical. Ron is the most educated member of the council, which is clear when trying to unsuccessfully discuss issues with him. His term expires in 2012, which may explain his recent shift to resident-centric positions on various high-profile issues.
