7th District Council Race: K.C. Crosbie vs. Chris Logan

I've been relatively quiet about the contest in the 7th District this time, unlike two years ago. The choice is less clear-cut, since neither candidate appears to be particularly progressive or gay-friendly (although I am still grateful to Scott Crosbie for supporting Lexington's Fairness Ordinance when he was sitting on the Council).

K.C. and I were on different sides of the water issue, a strike against her, but she has at least worked on getting the roads in her district repaired. As far as I know, she hasn't proposed anything anti-gay. I know less about Chris Logan, but I am concerned about what I do know.

We came home one day to find his materials on our door, and have received mailings since. He advertises himself as follows: "The experience I have gained as a Pastor, a financial planner, and as a small business owner makes me the best candidate to represent you."

Hmm. I wonder what he thought of our "May Goddess Bless" sign. He says he's for green space, but his survey with Kentuckians for the Commonwealth indicates that he's one of those pastors that doesn't think gay people should even be able to PAY to share health care with a loved one (since that's how the LFUCG health care works). Not a surprise, but there are plenty of people who love green space who are a lot more open minded.

I worry that Pastor Logan might have an agenda to further besides preserving green space (so many pastors seem fixated on us gay folks). There's gay-unsupportive, and then there's legislating morality. At this point, I'm debating whether I should sit this particular race out or vote for the evil I know. Does anyone out there have further information?
