Mike:
Just cuz you’re outta the race doesn’t mean you can’t still wade in on the things that interested you in running in the first place — via The Guardian, the Daily Paper, at Council meetings, ACHD, Legislature, Commisshes ….
Hey, wait a minute: Being not mayor or a mayoral candidate means you can raise cain a whole lot more places than you could if you were tied to only city stuff. So I’m betting we’ll be hearing a lot from and/or about you.

Mike;
Your candidacy was a definite plus to boise. Wish you had stayed in longer… You see Mike, there is a definite lack of Honest, sincere candidates, like yourself, in most political runs. Why not point out what the other candidates are doing for the good or bad of all of us ,Mike. You have the ability,know-how and friends!
PS- I’ve met ’em from all over Mike… When you meet a good Irishman you’ve met the best: Thanks, from us all Mike!

Certainly to the dismay of my neighbors, I can belt-out a mean James Brown, Frank Sinatra and Billy Idol in the shower!

I am overwhelmed by the number of folks (including many who didn’t have anything nice to say in the beginning) who have emailed me to express their sadness at seeing me bow-out.

I want to thank Dave at the Guardian and his “gang” for helping me to mature my message.

I have come to believe that I’ll be able to affect more change as a Private Citizen than a Candidate (Mr. Ombudsman, expect a Certified Letter very soon), so don’t bury me just yet! 😉

Have a helluva Summer folks.
