I am looking forward so much to seeing the energy and intelligence that he will bring to that long-neglected department. He dealt with similar problems in South Bend when he was mayor, and his ideas helped the town recover from many years of job losses and neglect.
Happy Birthday, Pete, and here's to many, many more! 
You can tell they adore one another, besides being best friends. 
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
