Q&A #6 -- Favorite Staffs

Here's a great question, from "Sammy":

Who are your favorite political staffs to deal with, whether it be mayor's office, city council, state, etc?

Before I answer, I want to say that I've just realized that our snazzy new blog format is not showing that I am indenting the questions in these answer posts, like the one above. This is probably a bit confusing for the reader, and I apologize and I'll see if it can be fixed.

Unfortunately, many of my favorite staffers I don't want to name here, because they serve as my top-secret spies and anonymous sources, and if I name them they'll become the object of suspicion in the future.

But I'll give a few random shout-outs. In the mayor's race, they've all been good to me but I'd say Flaherty's staff has been my favorite. I have liked Mike Ross's staff, although now Kantor's leaving, and John Connolly's staff. In the House, I like dealing with DeLeo's staff, but that might just be because of ex-Phoenix scribe Seth Gitell (although I never worked with him here); and Rep. Vallee's staff has an ex-colleague who I really like working with too. Also, off the top of my head, and from one time or another, shout-outs to staffs of Jamie Eldridge, Jack Hart, Robert Hedlund, Brad Jones, Michael Morrissey, Charlie Murphy, Marc Pacheco, OCPF, Boston Police Department, state ethics commission, and most of the area congressmen (and woman).
