Tuesday night, I had the opportunity to talk with Bill Green (and his very nice wife) for an hour at a coffee shop in Northern Liberties. We were supposed to meet at a bar but it was overrun with bikers.

I’m keeping the person-to-person format in the interest of fairness but it's still lots of paraphrasing. Yes, it’s a flawed method, but given the big bucks they pay me here, it’ll have to do for now. If there are any errors, you know who to blame. Italics are some of my commentary.

MC: …real life work… this blog thing...

BG: …started cabinet business, operated a flexiglass pole business, ran a technology firm that specialized in security. …extensive experience balancing budgets and implementing technology…. currently a lawyer...

MC: So your brand name definitely was an asset that helped you get elected (win the primary)?
