Subject: real petitioners

I remember when some city folks were prodding me to run for a council seat.
Don't flatter yourself I doubt that you would have gotten the votes needed for the position. In that same statement no one made the current council members run for office they knew what they were getting into.

Now, who should I prefer to have running this city? A man that has rubbed elbows with presidents.
Why does rubbing elbows with a president make this person more qualified to serve on council? Remember we have a hot dog vendor who is doing a very good job.

And how much money does it cost us to cover council's salaries and benefits? $150,000 tops?
That's another cop or two.

And don't tell me some of the people that are fighting the petition are doing it for the good of the people. Read the names check their affiliations like you would have done last year. One is looking for a city job, one just got a city job, several relatives of city folks.

You thought it was fine to print come on Falzone Brothers. I don't know why you think they are the adults that should run the towing business.
