Developer Gorman commends Alder Konkel

Developer Gary Gorman recently praised Alder Konkel for her hard work on the city council. Gorman is working on a mixed use project on the 800 block of East Washington and was thankful that Brenda was an attentive, responsive, and effective Alder.

If someone would have told me a year ago that I would be writing a column complimenting Madison City Council President Brenda Konkel, I would have told them that someone slipped something into their brownies.

Brenda and I are definitely at different points on the political spectrum. I doubt that she and I have ever voted for the same candidate for any public office. I certainly do not support many of her positions on city issues. All of this aside, she is really good at her job...

I know that I will get truckloads of abuse from my friends in the business community for writing this. But at my advanced age, I do not really care. When people who have different political views can work together in a civil and courteous fashion to achieve a result that improves the city, it is worth noting.
