No he is not BUT by being politically correct he will. I believe EVERYONE should have input into who the next chief is. It just appears that they will want to appease the West End just on who they want because they do not want to upset anyone from over there. I can guarantee that if Gentry does not make chief there will be a cry of injustice and racism made. Not to say that some will not say that if she does make it but they will be called racist just on the basics of not backing a black woman.
