Update: February 1, 2008 6:10 a.m. On Monday evening January 28, 2006 during a break at the County Commission meeting, I was having a conversation with several individuals about the Public Trust PAC. One of the individuals in our conversation looked up and asked a nice young lady within 40 feet of us. "Therea were you interviewed by The Public Trust PAC?" She said "No" So, I guess it is official. Are they anti-women? Probably not. Are they supporting candidates that are supportive of the PAC's agenda for Metro Government? Probably.
By the way, Therea is Therea Cox, the third female candidate in the First District Democrat Primary for County Commission.
Original Post January 27, 2008 10:04 p.m. In an dual interview this afternoon on The Hubert Smith Radio Show the two female candidates for County Commission First District revealed that they were not interviewed by The Public Trust PAC.
This continues to confirm what we posted about The Public Trust PAC. The PAC is a good ole retired career politicians meeting in a backroom basement with an agenda that is based on closed door sessions not open and transparent to the media and the public.
Cynthia Stancil and Evelyn Gill are the two female candidates competing with all the other candidates for the Democrat nomination for the County Commission, First District position. They both revealed that the PAC did not extend an invitation to interview and that they were not interviewed by the PAC.
The PAC endorsed Sam McKenzie for the Democrat nomination. However, with the revelation of Stancil and Gill it is apparent that the good ole career politician PAC is not interested in casting an informed endorsement by interviewing all candidates.

Ummm, you left out Therea Cox.
O.k. good point. I do not know if they interviewed Ms. Cox or not. She appeared on Hubert's show a few weeks ago. However, the point remains, The Public Trust PAC doesn't operate in the Public and isn't Trustworthy as they rejected two female candidates without interviewing them.
Brian,
Or perhaps they knew from public sources, public statements, campaign literature, or whatever, that there wasn't any point in interviewing them? Or perhaps they felt these two candidates simply weren't viable and interviewing them would be a waste of time.
Additionally, it seems to me judging from your prejorative terminology in describing the The Public Trust PAC, that maybe ... JUST MAYBE ... you don't like the PAC (for whatever reason or reasons) and their not interviewing these candidates provides you an easy club to beat them up with.
Am I wrong?
Also, did they endorse Scott "Scoobie" Moore or an opponent? Is there a place where I can see the list of folks they did endorse? The only one the I know they endorsed was Amy Broyles.

Steve, I believe that they should interview all candidates regardless of electability. They did not endorse in the clerk race. I believe it is because they know what a great clerk, Scott will be.
The endorsed the following
Sam McKenzie, 1st Dist
Amy Broyles, 2nd Dist
Ruthie Kuhlman, 4th Dist
Finbarr Sauders, 4th Dist
Ed Shouse, 4th Dist
Richard Briggs, 5th Dist *who refused the money
Brad Anders, 6th Dist
David Wright, 8th Dist
Mike Brown, 9th Dist
Brian,
Thnak you!

I agree with Brian on this big time. Look, back in New York I was on the screening committee of the Integrity Party which had a line on the ballot (you needed 1500 signatures which we would get). You never know whats going to happen based upon someones resume. Until you can question them about who they are. Example we had this retired town cop who was lets say average on paper. Turns out during the interview I find out this guy set up a soup kitchen OFF HOURS ON HIS OWN DIME AND TIME for the poor and homeless cause as a cop he really felt like he wanted to make a difference and help the community. When he went into the scope of what he did (the permits, the neighbors who were originally not in my back yard, the businesses getting them to pitch in) I was beyond floored and fought like hell for the guy and he won the election outright on the minority line! You can't rule someone out unless lets say they have a criminal record or shady voting record unless you measured them in an equal standing with the same specifics as you measured others. Everyone deserves an equal fair and unbiased opportunity to present their case.
