Audio: Interview with Ward 13 Candidate Andrew Rodych

September 19, 2010 - By

Nation, my 2nd interview of yesterday was with Andrew Rodych, who is seeking the consent of the residents of Ward 13 to sit as their representative on city council as Alderman.

Andrew was 5 minutes early for our appointment at a local establishment that rhymes with “Crumpty’s”, and rattled through my prepared questions with clear, concise and well thought-out responses – which is all the more impressive when one considers he hasn’t done a lot of interviews, and some of my questions were quite literally from WAY out in left field.

I should apologize for 2 items in the interview: Firstly, the background noise is a little harsh at times – the hazard of recording an interview in a restaurant. Secondly, I incorrectly identified “Rodych” as a good, strong German name. It is, in fact, a good, strong Ukrainian name – to my Ukrainian friends, please stop pelting my house with pyrohy.

    Finally, a candidate that lives in Ward 13! Sounds like he cares, maybe we would be able to get some representation on council decisions. The current Alderman, who does not live in the ward does not face the traffic issues each day nor is her office responsive to issues of the residents unless it generates media.

    I find Diane and her staff quite responsive on all ranges of issues, I’ve never had a problem. Diane has been a great Alderman and I’m quite sure she will be re-elected no problem!

    “ward13Resident” Daine is a great Alderman? What has she done for us? I have a long list of things she hasn’t done. As soon as the camera is on she cares, once the camera is off she says call her office but no one from her office returns calls. It’s time people see through her act she is putting on. Now she acts as if she can change the ward because she finally has people running against her who do care. Let’s see how she wastes our time and dollar looking for the next best thing for her politically while she should be caring for our ward.
