That's an incredible message the Democrats are sending: The man who proposed handing the mayor's office to Irv "Lifelong GOP" Stumler, and whose reign of nepotism during the past two years poisoned the revitalization well, now is rewarded with a position as party apparatchik.

File it under "local Democratic Party death rattles," and ponder the what-ifs should the Republicans ever choose a competent party chairman.
