Cohen Transition Team

I envision the transition team for Josh being more a formality considering how easy the transition is for a person of his ideology and particular city experience.  Does someone with such steadfast views and experience with running city government need people to tell him about running city government?  HERE are the people who will do just that.

It's interesting to think about Josh's motive for selecting each of these people, and each person's motive for accepting the offer, especially for the following people:

Zina Pierre (co chair)
Greg Stiverson (co chair)
Reza Jafari (Cohen's fundraising chair)
Carl Snowden (newly appointed to HACA)
Dick Franyo (Boatyard, Sailing HOF)
Jeremy Parks (developer, Park Place)
David Prosten (Sierra Club, which endorsed Josh)
Chris Trumbauer (Cohen's treasurer)
Sandy Cohen (1 guess)

There are plenty of other people, probably close to 100 in total.  It will be interesting to see if these people are involved just for their expertise, or as a courtesy to candidates involved in the election, OR if this is the first step in finding these people paid jobs with the city.

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT: THIS "TEAM" IS ALL WINDOW DRESSING. a FEW GOOD IDEAS MAY COME FROM IT BUT THIS IS WAAAY TOO POLITICALLY AND IDEALOGICALLY "BALANCED". AND ZINA IS THE BEST PERSON TO LEAD IT? BTW, ISN'T FALSIFYING YOUR PRIMARY RESIDENCE ON A LOAN APPLICATION A FELONY? CHECK THE FORM.
