The news is the passing of Jeff Coudriet, long-time Council staffer who took a short break to work at ABRA. Those who knew Jeff describe him in lots of colorful ways; he was a terrific friend and I enjoyed working with him while he was the clerk of the Committee on Finance and Revenue. I will miss him.
