I swear, it’s like this election is a repeat or a do-over from the last one. *lol*

wasn’t that always the intent? Just to get their own lap dogs back in the corner office?

I don’t always like what Dan has to say but today he is right on target.

I will take issue with one statement in that column I just noticed…”A majority of the council voted to fire Cox.”
As I recall, no actual vote was taken. It was made clear to Cox, according to reports, that they *had* the votes to do so, if he didn’t resign. Technically, Cox “left of his own volition” though of course the reality is it was go or be fired.

When the history of thug politics is written, you will know that the council knew they had the votes when the curling championships were in town. Then manager Cox wore a path into the box where Campanini was seated. Caulfield, Martin etc were also in there but not at the same time. Cox was pissed and Bud looked like someone had just farted. I can’t remember if it was Cox’s box or if it was the Sun’s box but all the players stopped by and there weren’t too many smiling faces. I saw it all go down. The posturing and theatrics were just for show. This was a done deal and this is when Cox found out he had no support.

and by the way, Phelps is a boob. Nothing but a Paul Sullivan wannabee and he couldn’t even hold Sullivan’s shorts. Another mouthpiece who writes what he’s told. Provides the other half of the good cop/bad cop approach to news reporting, when he’s allowed to.
