Best

Councilman Best is a nice guy and a decent human being and thespian. As a Councilman, well, hes a nice guy, a decent human being, and thespian. He is certainly a practiced actor and a quick study. Gym only has to tell him what hes supposed to think ONCE and he is able to regurgitate his lines flawlessly after that. He is a nice guy who can fully appreciate the value to be found in an ice cold libation... or two... or three... or more..... on a regular basis. It is interesting that he did not come out in favor of the new gym UNTIL the theater was put into the mix. He was firmly ensconsced on the fence, as he usually is, before that, awaiting direction. He sees himself as a visionary but there is concern that his vision (and agenda) is mainly centered on making the Bob Best Theater for the Performing Arts happen, no matter what the cost to the people who are struggling to live in a recession. Truly, like Billy, a vain tribute to himself.
