but..The mayor has this development thing going on that has never quite got off the ground. it was a big complaint whenever I heard folks talking about him. He also gave speeches at all the tea party gatherings. Folks are ticked about the shut down and his opponent tied him to tea party very nicely.

It was a big shock to everyone. I will say I ment Dem candidate last week at my door. The man did a lot of foot work.
