I know first hand that when you step into the public eye, you are subjected to all kinds of criticism. Is this your fear? Have no fear, be who you are. As far as your comments on Mary Verner, it almost seems as if you have an axe to grind? I worked with both of the gentlemen that Mary fired. And I have to tell you, they were both disorganized, and seem to have a lot of drama surrounding them. (I don’t Mean) the volunteers. I am sure both of these men are fine people and have good attributes, but it was not a good fit for Mary Verners campaign. Doesn’t it show leadership in her seeing a problem and dealing with it? She did not need to hire an outside consultant to deal with her issues; she stepped up and dealt with them herself. If you are going to let someone go with you campaign, is it not a smart idea to get the information that they could give to other candidates? Mary’s campaign is the one who paid for the information that was one that computer. And your comment about Judith Gilmore. Yes, she has not won, but at least she cares enough to put the time and energy that it takes to run for office. Not to mention the guts. She put herself out there to make a difference and try and promote change. So why would you put her down for that. May I ask what you have done for this community? And it is quite troublesome for me that you are not willing to tell the fine people of this city who you are. If I may offer a word of advice, use your web-site/blog to educate the voters. Put the pros and cons of all candidates. Isn’t there enough dirty politics in this town? Why not add some positive education to the situation? PS You are never stuck!! I would like to know why you feel you can’t tell your views your real name.
