Jeremy Mayhew, LDA Board Member

Reader Sam commented below:

"Jeremy Mayhew may be a 'Non-party Common Councilman' with the City according to the Mayor's press release, but he was also a former Special Adviser to Peter Lilley."

Quite so. He performed that role from 1990-1993. It's not a sin (well, maybe a little one) but it does slightly undermine that line about a "reasonable political balance." He's there partly for his arts expertise I'm told. More on Mayhew here and here.
