Wasn’t this tried in the 60s (with mixed results at best)?
This mayor is good at demolishing things. Things like hope, honor, integrity and trust.
After crying all over about the city’s lack of money as soon as it got a little he was all
over a big $20,000/year raise for himself. With that, he showed what he cares about

was a mayor you could trust to build up this city for the good of everyone. This guy is
a one-man wrecking crew.
