Jim--- very honest, well written, and totally-on-the-mark reflection on the mayor's lack of integrity regarding this issue. Any politician like this who has to wait until the city attorney decides right vs. wrong shouldn't be re-elected. Thanks for keeping up the attention on this issue. Methinks the mayor continues to wait until the winds change and scatters the problem like a pile of leaves....
R.T.: step up and take some responsibilty.
