Why was Speedy shut out? Anybody know?

Gary,

It could be Mike Speedy and Ginny Cain didn't express an interest in leading a committee.

Though with Mike Speedy when it comes to any proposal about real estate development or incentives to affordable housing he always abstains. That would limit the committees he could potentially serve.

Before anyone uses the "T" word for Kent Smith, remember he is a mortgage broker by trade and the "subprime meltdown" in the mortgage industry hit him hard so he is very aware of what is occurring the communities and should do well in Community Affairs.
