I listened to both Lisa McDonald and Betsy Hodges speak and answer questions a couple weeks ago at the East Harriet Farmstead Annual Meeting. I thought Lisa McDonald did a fabulous job of answering all their questions. She had concrete facts to deliver about where funds would come from to pay for her supported initiatives. It was very obvious that everything she said came straight from her data banks from past and present experience dealing with the city. She knows her stuff. She was comfortable and natural talking about it. Betsy talked about her vision 20 years from now where neighborhoods would be world class with trolley cars running throughout the city to take people home from work. I couldn't help but wonder where the money was going to come from to pay for all those trolleys and the tracks to run them on. I also don't think we need to wait 20 years for world class neighborhoods. I believe we have them now. I will just throw it out there. I love Lisa McDonald and I hope she goes back to city hall. She knows her stuff. The people of the 13th ward would get great constituent service from her. She is a dang hard worker. I have seen her in action and no dust settles under her feet.
