I just caught this story at Gazettenet.com about Ward 4 City Council David Narkewicz (freakin’ sub. req’d.) not re-upping for his position this year.

From the article:

The 42-year-old, a stay-at-home dad who says “domestic engineer” will remain one of his main job titles, ruled out a run for any elected office this year.

“I don’t have any immediate plans, but I’m not going to rule out running for elected office in the future,” said Narkewicz.

That creaking sound you hear is the rumor mill slowly grinding in to action.

Prediction #1: He takes this campaign cycle off to ready himself, his family and his war chest for a run for Mayor in 2011.

Prediction #2: He takes this campaign cycle off to ready himself, his family and his war chest for a run for Elector of the Oliver Smith Will.  No doubt it means practicing walking around wearing a sash, top hat and monocle.

Prediction #3: He goes all Tacy on us and pulls out write-in papers for Mayor right before the deadline this year and stops paying his taxes.
