I like Melinda. She did more than anyone else, during my membership on the Zoning Ordinance Review Committee, to help me understand land-use regulation. She did have a reputation for being somewhat rigid, but there's something to be said in favor of appointed government officers who do their best to follow the law as it is written.
(The ZORC members also did a lot for me, but I thanked a couple of them for it in a public setting once, and, as they were almost all Republicans, I got a politely worded note of remonstration for it later, so I won't name any names here. Thanks anyway, you guys.)
