You heard it here first... ok second. It's on my blog first.<BR/><BR/>12:35 PM: There's always one reason or another to change leadership. When the city has gone down the tubes, when the LEO's have lost all respect for the brass and the civilian leaders, when the Granma (think Cuba) has to scramble to come up with Mayor Bart friendly articles. Now another member of the Machine, Coroner Ken Ackles is under investigation for stealing $3K there is reason for sweeping changes.<BR/><BR/>OK Wilson when are you or your sockpuppets going to cry "political witch hunt" against Carl Brizzi for checking into the activities of the Coroner's office? <BR/><BR/>Even if Bart doesn't run (which he will no doubt) the Machine will put one of his lackeys up to run. And buffalo people into thinking this lackey is really worth gold.<BR/><BR/>Sort of like how the Mayor Bart is parading his pet Melina Kennedy around to get his claws into the prosecutor's office.<BR/><BR/>Back to this topic at hand and the original article: When Mayor Bart stood on the field and pronounced "We have a deal!" ... what he really meant to say was "I gave away the city to keep the Colts here". <BR/><BR/>lafblog - no you can't be the "raving lunatic" for Matt Tully's blog.

How about some of those high paid players giving a little back for the good of the city or the priviledge to play.

It'd be hard to vote against him. Except that he'w rong on most of the issues.

You raise a good question anonymous.

Among the current Republican ranks? Ike? Please. Hinkle, Brizzi, et al? Ugh.<BR/><BR/>The state and city both knew about the $10 mil shortfall. A pox on both their houses.<BR/><BR/>A slightly deeper pox on the Republicans, who demanded control and had to have their toys or they'd go home.<BR/><BR/>Tully speaks well in his column, but it took only a little work...a phone call to Jim Irsay. Stop the presses, Matt has broken a sweat.<BR/><BR/>This is all interesting discussion. But hardly reason to change mayors.<BR/><BR/>Not even.<BR/><BR/>If I were a Republican leader, I'd be trying to talk Phil Borst into running next year. He's solid, smart, and a calm leader. Next to Ike, he looks positively timid. And he always looks smarter.<BR/><BR/>He's forgotten more about city government than Ike will ever know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
