Cannot wait to see who runs against Harrell. Would be difficult to find someone lazier and less ethical than him.

Let’s go Katie Wilson for mayor!!!!

That would be a huge mistake as she is beholden to the activist fringe and doesn’t indicate knowing anything about how a City truly functions. Just another *change candidate who doesn’t have enough experience or connections to keep a complex organization from going off the rails.

  Sure. Our seated politicians are doing a fantastic job of not prioritizing fringe interests over the basic well-being of the city and its people. By the way, how’s Curby?
