1.: Yes, he tries to insult us all with lies. The budget allows for not a single new police officer in the last 3 years. 650 it was, and 650 it remains.
2.: Kearns doesn't even pretend to have a chance. If he (or anybody) would come out SNARLING, teeth bared, spitting venom against the garbage which is local gov't, he'd at least get some respect and attention. Mickey acts like his mommy just told him to behave. KILL, Mickey, KILL !!

4.: Last Republican Mayor was my namesake, elected in 1961. Then he was smeared and attacked until his heart was broken, and died at age 62.
