The Mayor’s mouthpiece, Mike Journee, has acquired the same arrogance and disrespect of his boss. See the newspaper for The Mouthpiece’s reply to a reporter regarding a salary increase for one of the (two) acting Police Chiefs.

Watching Bieter’s posture & facial expressions during the recent debate really showed the real Despot we have in office. Rather than watching the other candidates as they spoke, he looked off into space with that arrogance of ‘why must I put up with this’. I recognized the expression as one I used to wear, as a kid, when forced to listen to a ‘clueless’ parent. And, this was just one of many obvious signals showing little or no respect for this debate in which he felt compelled to participate. Would this be the kind of reception you’d receive should you find yourself before him with a suggestion or need?

As I listened to him speak, I begin to wonder how many more “and uh” in his narrative before I’d begin counting them. I know now why the taxpayers are footing the bill for Mike J’s position.

Bottom line, my instincts tell me, we need a new leader for one of the fastest growing cities in the country!

Mr. Mayor Serving as a public official is not suppose to be a career. Your time as being Mayor has ran its course. Now go live in the real world to make a living- and yes you were a partisan North End liberal. Your damage to this city is evident. PS- So can we get rid of the bike Lane sense you don't ride a bike anymore?

Now we have the first death attributed to e-scooters. Will the mayor and council members who supported their adoption accept culpability?

EDITOR NOTE– Pretty hard to blame the politicos on this one. We have lots of motorcycle deaths as well as bicycle deaths too.

If some real estate firm or promotional firm would offer him a job, maybe he would cease the rhetoric.

It looks like the Mayor failed to read his own press releases. “Kind,” indeed. Mr. Mayor, if you can’t take the heat…

In recent years the mantra “no means no” has rightly come to signify that the person of greater strength or power cannot force his/her will on another individual. Unfortunately, that is the one lesson the mayor and his helpers don’t get. They are still stuck on the myopic self-serving notion now so widely abhored, namely: “No” means “maybe” and “maybe” means “yes.”
Consider such wish-list items as a trolly, the F-35s, a library more suitable for glamor than study, a downtown sports stadium, and the magic elixor for all ills, and a local-option sales tax in that light, and things that voters don’t want become indispensable components of Camelot.
