Blogger Zach Behrens is a Neighborhood Councilman

With a whopping 32 votes (and no opposition), blogger Zach Behrens is now a member of the Sherman Oaks Neighborhood Council. Now that a genuine blogger is on a neighborhood council, albeit one with a pretty kick-ass Web site already, expect more info about what really goes on in the NCs to start making it out here. Go to the Web site, or click here for full election results. While most vote totals were in the 20s through 40s, some of the races were actually competitive, in a class-president sort of way -- but competitive nonetheless. A guy named Neal Roden dragged in 293 votes, and Laura Smith Nash brought 290 to the mat. Both ran unopposed. A total of 429 ballots were cast.

My first question for Zach: What are y'all doing with your $50,000 in city-issued mad money? And don't let any of those 200+ vote people push you around, know what I mean? Call on your inner Maxine Waters if needed.

Addendum: Zach is a humble guy. Of the 550 pictures on his Flickr page, not one is of him ...
