Michael Harris is at the Mayors office often and he has donated lots of time and money to get Walling elected. Favors are owed and Caron will get her new job just as her old one is eliminated. |

Williamson did the same thing to the Uncommon Sense. Does this move put him in the alleged "Dictator" Williamson model.
Where is the change we were promised? |

If it is true that Walling wants to "hush" this site, that along with all his other broken campaign promises shows that all his campaign promises were nothing more than political rhetoric. I find it amazing that so many of the things for which he bashed Williamson, he is doing in a worse way, which I did not think was possible.
I hope the moderator(s) of this site do not bow to Walling's whims.
PS When do the recall petitions come out? And where can I get some? |

Something odd is happening on the DDA front, I think they are trying to come up with a compromise. More to come on that soon.
