It went from one person to another and yet another."</em><br /><br />Why can't you submit an OT comment like this to Opinions Online? That's really not fair to me, when I take the time to go to a meeting and write about something, to have someone else come in and post a question about something completely different. Plus, you want me to look into the contract. Why can't you? Democracy is not a spectator sport, you know.

The team is stacked. So he opted against football this year. I love to watch him play, but he has to make his own decisions when it comes to sports.

Julio Guiridy, Glaser - now you want to be heroes, when you took the mayors cash raised through corruption of pay and play, nice try. TO me it looks like rats jumping off a sinking ship, or a bunch of Brutuses insuring they get their dagger red before they go before the voters - council needs some new faces, and we for sure need a new city controller (do we even have a city controller?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-67335189732571310262015-09-17T05:02:03.444-04:002015-09-17T05:02:03.444-04:00Too little
