All he did was damage himself with that baloney. Cusick is a hard-working member of Council, is bright and experienced. <br /><br />Dietrich has to learn to keep his mouth shut and to listen a little more He has been on Council less than a year and talks too much. Much of it is incomprehensible. At least two Council members (not Angle) had to ask him at the last meeting to explain himself. He's like an empty can.<br /><br />Ron should never have gone beyond exactly what was said at the meeting.

Thanks to all involved !<br /><br />I was, however, a little disappointed reading the Express article "Angel threat shows discord".
