fortune ox bonus As Trump's Nominees Face Scrutiny Before Senate Confirmation, Kash Patel Vows to Target 'Deep State' Share This article WASHINGTON – With less than two months before his inauguration, President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet nominees are meeting with lawmakers ahead of their confirmation hearings. A few key picks are facing new allegations and will likely face tough questions on Capitol Hill. Some senators are pushing for all of Trump's cabinet nominees to undergo full FBI background checks. This step would ensure the standard vetting process isn't bypassed. It comes as Congress returns to Capitol Hill after Thanksgiving with a lot on the table. Trump's picks are working to win support from lawmakers ahead of their hearings. Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) says, "I have an open mind about all the nominees. Once again, that's why we have confirmation hearings." Pam Bondi, Trump's Attorney General nominee, is meeting with Republican senators after former Congressman Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration. Bondi said, "Should I earn the trust and the nomination from all of the senators; I will do my best every day to work tirelessly for the American people." Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) praised Bondi, saying, "She's a great choice and a long-time friend. I think the right person at the right time." Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth is facing new allegations, including accusations of sexual assault. In addition, The New Yorker reports that the Army veteran was forced to step down from leading two veterans' groups due to mismanaging funds and abusing alcohol while on the job. Hegseth's lawyer has called the claims "outlandish." Meanwhile, Republicans are bracing for what could be the biggest Senate confirmation battle. FBI Director nominee Kash Patel, a known Trump ally, is under scrutiny for his promises to overhaul the FBI and dismantle what he calls the "deep state." Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper warned, "What you don't want are people politicizing them for personal retribution... And that's going to be the concern of everybody." As allegations and plans to restructure agencies take center stage, Trump's nominees are certain to face tough questioning in the coming weeks. Share This article About The Author

ROTTERDAM, the Netherlands and SAN DIEGO , Dec. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- SkylineDx, an innovative diagnostics company specializing in the research and development of molecular diagnostics for oncology, inflammatory, and infectious diseases, announce that groundbreaking data on the Prognostic Value of the SKY92 Classifier over High-Risk Cytogenetic Aberrations in Multiple Myeloma will be presented during the upcoming American Society of Hematology (ASH) conference. The results were obtained from the PROMMIS real-world study, conducted in nine academic cancer centers across the United States . The presentation, led by Dr. Noa Biran , Associate Professor at Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine, highlights the significant impact of SKY92 on risk stratification in multiple myeloma patients. Multiple myeloma is a hematological malignancy characterized by a complex molecular landscape. Despite advancements in modern therapies, a subset of patients classified as high-risk continues to experience poor survival outcomes. Traditional risk stratification relies heavily on identifying cytogenetic aberrations. However, the PROMMIS study provides compelling evidence that the SKY92 gene expression profiling (GEP) classifier offers crucial biological insight and independent prognostic value. The study [1] included 251 newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients that were follow up for over nearly four years to monitor their progression. The results showed that individual chromosomal abnormalities and their co-occurrence had limited prognostic value, with the sole exception of the 1q21 abnormality, which prognostic significance for PFS was exclusive to patients aged 65 years and older. SKY92 proved to be a much stronger predictor of poor outcomes. Patients that had the high-risk biomarker SKY92 had significantly worse progression-free survival rates, regardless of whether they had other genetic abnormalities. The research also showed that combining SKY92 results with specific genetic markers like gain(1q21) could offer even more detailed insights. For example, patients flagged as high-risk by both tests had some of the poorest outcomes, underlining the complementary value of using SKY92. Dr. Jvalini Dwarkasing, Chief Scientific Officer at SkylineDx, emphasized the importance of this research: "These findings highlight how the SKY92 test can make a real difference in the care of multiple myeloma patients. By offering a clearer and more reliable way to identify high-risk disease, we are giving doctors powerful tools to tailor treatments and improve outcomes. This research reinforces our commitment to advancing personalized medicine." This study marks a significant step forward in understanding and treating multiple myeloma. The SKY92 test not only provides a more accurate way to identify high-risk disease but also helps refine how we use existing genetic information. By integrating this advanced technology into routine care, clinicians can better support patients facing this challenging disease. SkylineDx is grateful to the patients, doctors, and research teams who contributed to the PROMMIS study, which would not have been possible without their dedication. About MMprofiler with SKY92 Multiple Myeloma is a heterogeneous disease and its course can vary significantly between patients. MMprofiler with the SKY92 biomarker enhances the biological insights into the diseases. This molecular diagnostic test measures the activity of 92 genes in the malignant myeloma plasma cells, and determines how aggressive the myeloma is. When myeloma is more aggressive (high-risk disease) it is less likely to respond to conventional treatments and the patient might benefit from intensification of therapy. MMprofiler with SKY92 is CE-IVD registered in Europe and available as laboratory developed test (LDT) from SkylineDx's CAP/CLIA lab in San Diego (CA, USA). About SkylineDx SkylineDx is a biotechnology company focused on research & development of molecular diagnostics in oncology inflammatory, and infectious diseases. SkylineDx uses its expertise to bridge the gap between academically discovered gene expression signatures and commercially available diagnostic products with high clinical utility, assisting healthcare professionals in accurately determining the type or status of disease or predicting a patient's response to treatment. Based on test results, healthcare professionals can tailor the treatment approach to the individual patient.

Special counsel moves to dismiss election interference and classified documents cases against TrumpNone

The Minnesota Timberwolves prematurely broke up their core, and they’re now paying the price. After making the Western Conference Finals just one season ago, the Timberwolves made quite an interesting move and traded Karl-Anthony Towns in favor of Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo . The move isn’t totally paying off quite yet. Through 16 games, Minnesota holds an 8-8 record. They haven’t been a great team, nor anywhere close to where they were just one season ago. Moving on from their core was a long-term financial move, though it’s messed with the chemistry quite a bit. The Timberwolves have taken a couple of straight losses, but their recent loss against the Toronto Raptors is the worst of the two. West Conference 8 8 0.500 Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle shared a moment of poor chemistry One big reason the Timberwolves were so good just one season ago is because superstar Anthony Edwards played well off the two big men — Rudy Gobert and Towns. With Towns being the best shooting big man in the NBA, he was able to space the floor. With Gobert being more of a traditional archetype, that’s not necessarily in his arsenal, which is how the two complemented one another. Randle doesn’t exactly bring the same impact. He takes a bit more time getting to his spots, and he requires spacing to do such, as he uses his big frame to get into the paint. There was on particular play, with the Timberwolves tied with the Raptors with five minutes to go in the fourth quarter of that game, where Randle was dribbling looking for an isolation situation. Gobert had his defender sealed under the rim, and he didn’t receive the ball. In a mini protest, he took his time to get out of the lane, which led to a three-second call and turnover . The Timberwolves were fuming. Edwards took offense to the situation. However, they were able to clear the air and they did so publicly at practice ahead of their battle against the Celtics — which was an eventual loss. I absolutely cannot get over this clip... Rudy Gobert pins his man as deep as you possibly can & is calling for the ball. Julius Randle sees it & doesn’t pass it to him. Gobert pouts & gets a 3 second call in a tie game. Ant losses his mind. Wolves lose pic.twitter.com/vbZ1Rn9PTS What Gobert and Randle said at practice With no media being at the game and the Timberwolves unable to address the situation publicly because of such, they went ahead and did so at the next available opportunity. ESPN’s Tim MacMahon has the details of the situation, but he also has his opinion of the matter. “It was a bad look,” MacMahon said. “Nothing got addressed until practice on Saturday in Boston. So it was kind of lingering and floating. “Now, after that practice, Gobert basically owned it and said, ‘Hey, that was not good by me.’ Paraphrasing, and I pride myself on being a good teammate. That was a bad example. Randle owned it, he came over and said, ‘I didn’t throw him the effing ball.'” McMahon noted that Randle said such in a joking manner, making light of the situation while ensuring he knew his issues in the matter. “...They both said they didn’t have any issues with each other, but that was a bad chemistry moment,” MacMahon continued. It was a bad look, but maybe it was the moment the Timberwolves needed to right the ship and build some chemistry with the new-look squad.

Wednesday will be the final council meeting before the Dec. 5 deadline to appoint a new councilmember, and as of this week, members of the divided council said they are still struggling to find a candidate for the position that would receive enough votes to pass. If there is no vote, or if a candidate does not receive a majority of the votes, the seat will remain vacant until a special election next November. Sixth Ward Councilwoman Jen Giattino died unexpectedly Nov. 5 during the first year of her fourth term. Councilwoman Tiffanie Fisher, who had both a close personal friendship with Giattino and considered her an ally on the council, said that she has been interested in supporting Giattino’s husband, Joe Giattino, as the new councilmember should he be interested, but as of Monday could not confirm that he wanted to be nominated. “We have to find someone that will get five votes and there aren’t a lot of those people out there and we believe Joe would have five votes,” Fisher said. “I think people would know that he would honor her legacy and be fair, but are there other people as well? “Other people have put their hands up and we’ve had those conversations and it’s just very fluid. I can’t stress enough how challenging of a situation it is.” Jen Giattino always ran independently of Mayor Ravi Bhalla’s slate of candidates and faced opponents that he endorsed. With Giattino on the council, the members critical of the Bhalla Administration held a slight majority this year. Now, the council is more evenly split, with four councilmembers who ran and won as members of Team Bhalla and four who ran campaigns independent and often highly critical of the Bhalla administration. A newly appointed member could determine which cohort has a majority, which is likely the reason that the council has thus far struggled to agree on a candidate. Fisher said it is important to her that anyone who succeeds Giattino be someone who shares similar political views.

Hoboken councilmembers say 10% in proposed law Dec. 2, 2024, 3:40 p.m. “The residents of the Sixth Ward voted for Jen overwhelmingly four times and they voted for Jen and how she approaches things, what her policies are four times so it should be a huge responsibility to find the right person that represents similar interests,” she said. “On another hand we have a divided council, and maybe not everyone wants that to be the main priority.” Councilmembers Joe Quintero and Phil Cohen, who are allied with Bhalla, declined to discuss conversations they’ve been involved in about possible candidates. Cohen said as of Tuesday he was not aware of anyone who had the support of the majority of the council. “I suppose anything is possible, but it seems unlikely that in the next 24 hours that that’s going to change,” Cohen said.

For millions of living room sleuths, the network’s recent three-part documentary series — “Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey?” — has reignited the 28-year-old unsolved child murder case. JonBenét, who participated in child beauty pageants, was 6-years-old when her parents reported her missing from their Boulder home the day after Christmas in 1996. She was found in the afternoon of Dec. 26 in the basement of the family’s home, strangled, with a garrote around her neck. An autopsy later revealed she had suffered a blow to the head. A police officer sits in her cruiser Jan. 3, 1997, outside the home in which 6-year-old JonBenét Ramsey was found murdered in Boulder on Dec. 26, 1996. Those who rode the investigation from the beginning watched the much-anticipated show to see if there was anything new. Some who didn’t know much about the case are going down the social media rabbit hole, hungry for more. And a new generation is discovering the fascinating investigation for the first time. Minds were changed. Minds are still set. Even the program’s director has chosen a side. In an interview with Netflix, Joe Berlinger said he thinks “there is zero chance that the family had anything to do with this horrendous crime.” There was some new information introduced in the docu-series, which took a couple of years to produce. What was fresh? For the first time, viewers heard the voice of detective Lou Smit from an audio diary he left behind after he died. In a steady voice, he recorded his thoughts as he investigated the case and the documentary did a nice job clarifying dates and times. Netflix tracked down an old interview with the district attorney who oversaw the case in the early days. Alex Hunter said he was at peace and that he did the right thing when he opted not to take the case to trial immediately after a grand jury recommended that the kindergartner’s parents be indicted on charges of child abuse resulting in death and being accessories to a crime Also new were details about JonBenét’s mother, Patsy, who died of cancer in 2006. Never before on television had John Ramsey opened up about what those last sad days were like for the family. It was good to see some investigators come forward. Producers were able to convince an always-wary Michael Kane, the special Ramsey grand jury prosecutor, to give a rare interview. Kane revealed he advised Hunter that 13 months of intense investigation behind closed doors did not shake enough evidence loose to establish probable cause to convict anyone should the case have gone to trial at that time. Kane was interviewed side-by-side with Ramsey DNA expert and former Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey. Smit, a respected, longtime El Paso County detective who resigned from the Ramsey case when he realized that a grand jury would focus on JonBenét’s parents, devoted the last years of his life to investigating the murder using his own money and evidence, which he brought out of the Justice Center. The Colorado Springs detective died in 2010, but he made sure that reams of detailed spreadsheets listing at least 100 suspects who could have possibly killed the little girl were overseen by his family and friends. They still run those possible suspects down one by one using DNA technology and private labs. The production value of “Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey” was rich, with well-written narration woven in and out of Ramsey home videos, decades-old interviews, and an ornate reproduction of the family’s 6,500-square-foot four-level Boulder home. John Ramsey, who will be 81 in a few days, was the central character of the series. A home video likely supplied by the family showed them on a sledding holiday. At the very end of the series, Ramsey turned JonBenét’s small black-and-white cowboy boots in his hands, which were placed on a bookcase among treasures from his grandchildren. His interview appeared genuine, his explanations those of a father who has resigned himself to a mindset of enjoying the short time he had with his child whose life was cut short so violently in the family’s own home. The Netflix crew unloaded plenty of criticism on how the local and national media — especially tabloids — centered on JonBenét’s own family in the first months and years that followed. Charlie Brennan, a Rocky Mountain News reporter who often led the charge as information was leaked, admitted that as pressure mounted to stay ahead in the news wars, he frequently used only one trusted source. That method, he said, led to at least one untrue headline — that John Ramsey piloted the plane that took the family to Atlanta for JonBenét’s burial, which was untrue. It was a vulnerable moment that gave Brennan credibility. On the heels of Brennan’s admission, Geraldo Rivera, who ran a mock trial against the Ramseys on his cable show, apologized on live television to Ramsey. Because of the documentary, journalists and talk show hosts are rethinking their own biases and what they could have done differently with their coverage. The Ramseys did not talk to the press, likely on advice of their lawyers. As a reporter who was on the case within the first few days of JonBenét’s death, I have seen and been on the production side of many of these kinds of television shows. When I was asked to be interviewed for this Netflix series, I had some reservations about it because it’s never easy for me to open up about personal work experiences. However, I liked the producers and grew to trust that they were not going to create yet another sensational program, as has been done so many times in the last nearly 30 years. The horrific death of a little girl has been lost in the sensationalism. As it turns out, this series struck gold with viewers because it was well-told. Neighbors stop me while I’m walking my dog, and old friends have texted, wondering about why the case was never solved. As former 20th Judicial District Attorney Stan Garnett explained it: “There is a reason so much debate continues to swirl around the case. The evidence is complex and confusing.” Boulder’s district attorney for nearly three terms, Garnett was the first at the helm of the office to build a strong relationship with the Boulder Police Department in the place of a rift and where there was little trust for years. He said he’s never heard a decent explanation as to why an intruder would have left the two-and-a-half page ransom note, which Patsy Ramsey said she found on the spiral staircase. Garnett said he also believes that the case should be solved by the totality of the evidence. “There’s too much emphasis on the DNA,” Garnett said. “You’re not going to solve this case by just a DNA hit, unless you can explain all the other evidence, including the note.” Though it’s very hard to get every piece of information of a nearly 30-year-old case into a three hour show, it is my opinion that Netflix omitted important evidence — perhaps by design. The following are three examples. First, the show spent 10 precious minutes concentrating on one of the greatest debacles in a case full of confounding twists — the investigation of a deranged school teacher on the run in Thailand from child pornography charges out of California. Netflix showed John Mark Karr’s disturbing emails and played phone conversations he had with a University of Colorado Boulder journalism professor, which left viewers wondering if he and several other mentally disturbed persons of interest might still be guilty of JonBenét’s murder. In truth, the expensive trip investigators took to Thailand where Karr lived should never have happened. The formal investigation into Karr started in April 2006, 10 years after JonBenét’s death. Then-District Attorney Mary Lacy and her team so distrusted the Boulder police, they left them out of the loop. In fact, Lacy did not bring in local law enforcement until Lacy’s team was on the plane, according to sources familiar with the investigation. When the police and sheriffs asked Lacy if she had simply checked Karr’s whereabouts to find out if he was in Boulder Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in 1996, she admitted she had not. Within 24 hours, police discovered through Karr’s ex-wife and witnesses that he was in Georgia on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and could not have made the drive to Boulder to watch JonBenét “die by accident,” as he had claimed. Secondly, the documentary played the infamous 911 call that Patsy Ramsey made just before 6 a.m. on Dec. 26, 1996. But for some reason, Netflix producers decided to cut the call short, instead of letting it play in its entirety. The last six seconds, which the docu-series omitted, were critical. The Ramsey 911 call could be one of the most investigated six-second snippets in crime scene history. Police believe that Mrs. Ramsey did not immediately hang up the phone and the ensuing conversation was recorded on a still-rolling dispatch tape. The 911 operator, Kim Archuletta, stayed on the phone during that time and thought she heard Patsy Ramsey change her tone from distress to business-like and ask someone what to do next. When Archuletta first told police about the extra seconds, she said that they didn’t take her seriously. When investigators realized she had uncovered an important clue, they investigated further. To the naked ear, the audio sound like gibberish. However, Boulder police sent the tape to the U.S. Secret Service and to the Aerospace Corporation, a California technical analysis company, to have it enhanced. Audio experts thought they heard a conversation between John Ramsey and his 9-year-old son, Burke, whom the Ramseys had always contended was in bed asleep. Though it’s unclear exactly what was heard, the 911 call was played for the Boulder grand jury, according to a grand juror who wished to remain anonymous. Thirdly, Netflix would have viewers believe that JonBenét did not wet the bed the night she was killed, a major pillar in the police theory that the parents had been involved in her death. The production backed that up when it showed Smit explaining that JonBenét’s sheets were not soiled on the night she was killed. Smit used a crime scene photo of her room to bolster his case, and insisted that there were no urine stains on the sheets. Investigators have stressed that Smit came into the case four months late so he never held the evidence and instead had to rely on crime scene photos. When Smit showed me the photo of JonBenét’s Beauty and the Beast-themed sheets on her bed, I agreed they looked clean. It was worth a call to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, where I knew one of the administrators. “What about these sheets? They don’t look urine-stained,” I asked him. “Carol, you should smell ‘em. The ammonia would knock you out,” he said. I am not identifying the CBI supervisor because he is no longer with the organization and he asked me not to. Similarly, Mark Beckner confirmed the presence of urine on JonBenét’s sheets in a Reddit interview after he retired as chief from the Boulder force after 16 years. Was urine found anywhere in the victims room bathroom or on her clothes? Reddit thread asked. “Her clothes and bed appeared to be stained,” he answered. Boulder has a new police chief. Last week, Stephen Redfearn, an outsider who came from the Aurora Police Department, made a 5:45-minute video assuring citizens that the agency is not sitting on valuable evidence. “We are doing everything we can to bring justice to JonBenét and hold her killer responsible,” he said. Redfearn acknowledged the mistakes that were made by police early on. Will this latest documentary put renewed pressure on the Boulder police to solve the case? Redfearn indicated the police don’t need a production to make them do their jobs. In his video, Redfearn said investigators are utilizing outside forensic labs and experts in the latest DNA technology, but didn’t expand what that meant. He said that open-minded investigators most recently met with the Ramsey family in mid-2024. They’ve digitized the voluminous case file, which includes 21,000 tips, 1,000 interviews, 200 reports, and they also looked at the handwriting, DNA, fingerprints and shoe prints of 200 people. JonBenét Ramsey would have been 34-years-old today had she lived. Editor’s note: Denver Gazette reporter Carol McKinley covered the JonBenét Ramsey murder case from the beginning. She has followed the case through her journalism career at KOA Radio, Fox News Channel, and ABC national news. She joined The Denver Gazette in 2021.

Global Launch of JETOUR T2 i-DM: Reshaping the Hybrid SUV Market

Facing her first Thanksgiving without her sons, Johnny and Matthew, Jane Gaudreau still wants to give thanks. As part of the endless love and support that has been since the brothers’ passing in August, her family has been invited to attend the Flames game next Tuesday when the Columbus Blue Jackets come to town. The Gaudreaus will do so, en masse. Although the Flames have kept details of their Dec. 3 tribute under wraps, the Gaudreau family will be flown in to be part of an evening honouring Johnny Hockey for his work in the community and the nine years of brilliance he exhibited as one of organization’s most popular stars. “We are deeply grateful to the Flames organization for inviting us back,” said Jane in a text message from her home in New Jersey. “Guy and I, along with our entire family, are looking forward to reconnecting with many friends in Calgary. “The love and support so many have shown for John, Matty, and our entire family has helped us through the hardest time of our lives.” It promises to be one of the most stirring evenings in Saddledome history, as Flames fans will get a chance to wrap their arms around a man, his brother and a family that meant so much to the organization and city. And it couldn’t come at a better time. “It’s been a really tough few months for Guy and me,” admitted Jane, referring to her husband, who taught Johnny how to skate using Skittles as lures. “Some days are okay, but others are incredibly challenging. This past week, with Thanksgiving approaching, was especially difficult for us.” Although his parents flew out west for regular visits throughout his time in Calgary, Johnny missed seeing family for things like Thanksgiving so much that it prompted him to sign in Columbus in 2022 to be closer to home. The move was upsetting to Flames fans, but nothing compared to the hurt the city felt when news of his passing hit. The day after the two were struck and killed while bicycling on the side of a rural road near their family home in New Jersey , thousands of Calgarians made emotional pilgrimages to the ’Dome to pay their respects. They brought flowers, sticks, jerseys, photos, stuffies, Skittles and purple Gatorade. They cried, they hugged, they shared, they reflected. for the brothers was attended by more than 10,000, which included former teammates and alumni. The Gaudreau family saw it all from afar, and used it as nourishment to help deal with their unspeakable pain. “The Flames organization and the Calgary fans have been a special part of our lives for over 13 incredible years,” said Jane, whose son was a Flames fourth-round draft pick in 2011. “Some of the friendships we’ve made here have become like family to us, and we will always cherish the memories we’ve created together.” They’ll create even more Dec. 3, just four days after the Flames visit Columbus for the first time this season. That too promises to be emotional. Many have wondered if the Flames will retire Johnny’s No. 13, raise a banner with his name on it or pay tribute to him in other ways. Nothing will be more enduring or powerful than the memory of seeing his pregnant wife, Meredith, and two kids, his sisters Katie and Kristen, his parents, his brother’s pregnant wife and extended family members in house. It was Katie’s wedding they were all slated to be at the day after the brothers were killed. Jane and Guy are beloved in Calgary, where Guy showed up several times with hockey gear in search of some beer league action. They are recognized wherever they go, and have long been embraced by locals who watched their undersized college standout become an NHL all-star. Aside from a video they did for Sportsnet to thank fans for their support on opening night, Jane and Guy have kept a very low profile, quietly battling through every parent’s worst nightmare. Coming to Calgary and stepping back into the spotlight takes courage. They’ll be welcomed with love. “Many of our fondest memories were in Calgary,” said Jane. “It’s where we watched John grow from a college student into a remarkable young man, and as parents we are so incredibly proud. “We are so thankful for the time we’ve spent in this wonderful city, and look forward to seeing everyone again.” The feeling is mutual.

Dell’s third-quarter revenue misses on PC weakness

Revival of negotiationsMunicipal vacancy law hasn’t been kind to the Hoboken City Council, which was given just one month to find someone to fill the now vacant Sixth Ward council seat while simultaneously grieving the sudden loss of a colleague. Wednesday will be the final council meeting before the Dec. 5 deadline to appoint a new councilmember, and as of this week, members of the divided council said they are still struggling to find a candidate for the position that would receive enough votes to pass. If there is no vote, or if a candidate does not receive a majority of the votes, the seat will remain vacant until a special election next November. Sixth Ward Councilwoman Jen Giattino died unexpectedly Nov. 5 during the first year of her fourth term. Councilwoman Tiffanie Fisher, who had both a close personal friendship with Giattino and considered her an ally on the council, said that she has been interested in supporting Giattino’s husband, Joe Giattino, as the new councilmember should he be interested, but as of Monday could not confirm that he wanted to be nominated. “We have to find someone that will get five votes and there aren’t a lot of those people out there and we believe Joe would have five votes,” Fisher said. “I think people would know that he would honor her legacy and be fair, but are there other people as well? “Other people have put their hands up and we’ve had those conversations and it’s just very fluid. I can’t stress enough how challenging of a situation it is.” Jen Giattino always ran independently of Mayor Ravi Bhalla’s slate of candidates and faced opponents that he endorsed. With Giattino on the council, the members critical of the Bhalla Administration held a slight majority this year. Now, the council is more evenly split, with four councilmembers who ran and won as members of Team Bhalla and four who ran campaigns independent and often highly critical of the Bhalla administration. A newly appointed member could determine which cohort has a majority, which is likely the reason that the council has thus far struggled to agree on a candidate. Fisher said it is important to her that anyone who succeeds Giattino be someone who shares similar political views.

Cohen said as of Tuesday he was not aware of anyone who had the support of the majority of the council. “I suppose anything is possible, but it seems unlikely that in the next 24 hours that that’s going to change,” Cohen said.
