The "Radical Center" in Prosper Magazine, via SACOG



The local business monthly, Prosper Magazine, just ran a piece on Mike McKeever of SACOG, my honorable mention for Radical Centrist of the Year. While content to bask in the reflected glow of Mike getting some well-deserved recognition, I was shocked (in a good way) when my wife turned the page and saw him returning the favor! After just one sentence on SACOG's award from the EPA, the article went on to say:

McKeever has received an award from California's Radical Center in Elk Grove [link: www.radicalcentrism.org], an honor he's proud of because "it implies serious progress, rather than mealy-mouthed compromises, by finding the centrist commonalities in the community." Radical centrism is a movement that endorses solving root -- i.e. "radical" -- problems by leveraging ideas from across the political spectrum. McKeever says he "totally loves the concept."

I've contacted Proper to express my gratitude; perhaps even more will come out of this, though this is already far better than I'd expected.
