Anna Falling

[Conan71]

I'd mentioned Anna Falling on one of the DA election threads and was hoping RecycleMichael would chime in on it if he remembered anything about it and refresh everyone's memory about the insestuous recycling contract she tried to force city neighborhoods into with a private recycling firm.

I wondered if anyone else remembered the whole stink that happened when she was on the City Council with the Recycling issue.  She was obnoxious, rude, and pious with that whole issue and it makes me shudder at the thought of her being a county commissioner.

I've tried to find information on it on the web with no luck.

I was trying to figure out why DelWhacko on KFAQ was supporting her since, as my memory recalls, he was one of her harsher critics when she was on the City Council.  Perusing her web site solves the mystery- Gwen Freeman (DelWhacko's co-anchor) is Falling's media director.

Also, to my amusement are the following factoids from her web site, www.annafalling.com :

58,000 are on food stamps
5,000 ex-prisoners a year move into our neighborhoods
1,400 families are on welfare;
750+ people are homeless.
Nearly 1 in 8 of all 9th graders drop out before graduating

Ah yes, I almost forgot, she says she will "pray for this district".

What on earth does this have to do with being a county commissioner?  I thought commissioners oversee road and bridge projects, the Expo Square and other county property.  Does she even have a clue what this job entails?
