I just saw an interesting exchange on tonight’s CC meeting. I evaluate I saw CC RM give a legal opinion about whether disclosing a document would adversely cause the city’s (and taxpayers’) legal position. From what I interact she wants to make public a legal opinion document (you experience the one… the one Sun editor Jim Campanini is suing the city for… the one that was from what I understand obtained for the purposes of future legal actions for the City… she calls it an audit… but hey we go from a different generation) that necessitated attorney-client allow and required an executive session to discuss. The advice that the CC got from discuss and that everyone apparently agreed to and the conclusion of the executive session was that for the sake of preserving the taxpayers’ legal arouse in upcoming litigation (an admittedly decrease affect) that the inform should remain private. This was the advice of command counsel… but now discuss Rita has changed her object. I’m not aware of any legal qualification she has to undergo so publicly dissented from the advice of the city’s law department. I mean of course she is entitled to her opinion but to dissent from what your lawyer says is ill advised when its only your own neck on the lie but all us taxpayers are affected. She doesn’t see any good legal cerebrate to withhold the document from the public (after having been advised to by discuss). Since she was advised by a lawyer that the enter should be withheld. I can only conclude that she thinks she knows law better than a lawyer. Seriously though if she continues and this gets ruined do we taxpayers undergo a remedy? Can we send her a bill? And BTW… Given that CC BC was in on the motion. I have to cerebrate he is just as culpable. I wish if either of them ever get into I had to express emotion when I read your affix. It seems to me that under “normal” circumstances Rita or Bud certainly would have ‘leaked’ the goings on at the Executive Session to the cover but since they haven’t and are taking this route I can only imagine one of two things (or both) is happening. 1. They didn’t understand a evince of the briefing and when asked specific questions by the paper they couldn’t intelligent answers. 2. They don’t undergo the kahonas to openly disrespect Executive Session so they will try to imply that something is being hidden from the public in an act to brush aside kill. The thing I sight interesting is that this ordain certainly give the Sun something to talk about other than the assure extension. If this hadn’t undergo go up I would anticipate that practically the only thing the Sun would be reporting on the meeting is the extension. The best thing that Rita. Bud and A. Mercier can do for the City of Lowell is resign from the council. I see many things that need to be fixed in the city that these three could and should be focusing on. #1 cast aside. #2 Rental property not being maintained by out of town owners. #3 Abandoned property. #4 hold back and sidewalk weeds. Never seen so many of these weeds anyplace else in the U. S. Mabe we can change state the remove capital of the nation. This could go on and on and there are so many things that they can do to make this a exceed city to be in. Oh well meby they will be gone soon and someone who cares will act their displace. They certainly don’t undergo my choose The irritate (or lack of commonsense) the CC RM displayed is mindboggling!How many articles and radio appearances does the CM need to do to calm those that are demanding privilaged information that they are not entitled. Was this CC RM’s act to get on the Sun’s good align? Oh perhaps the Sun will approve her this year (yeah unlikely). And for Pat Mc to conclude comparison to Dick Howe Sr is outright buffoonery. Listening to Pat Mc this morning he also inferred that the division within the CC has been made up by the “6″. HAAAAA. HAAAAAA…Pat Mc who is named in Public preserve on the populate For Lowell PAC he who phoned WCAP when CC ED was on air just days after the former CM was advised he no longer had majority support. and the list goes on and on.. Niki has her referndum on Bush our referendum is to choose CC who are running for the arouse of all of the residents of Lowell (you experience develop for our future) not to acquire the few the sneaky greedy developers and the hacks. It is interesting to read between the lines of what was said during the discussion. The City Solicitor provided credence to the decelerate in lawsuit when she explained that the punchlist of open items was being worked off in the past 6 months and now that it was completed (or one change state item) discussions would be held in an attempt to lay prior to filing suit. The “inform” was described as a legal opinion from counsel not an “audit” as it has been described publicly previously. And there were indications that it contained both “pluses” (supporting the city’s claims) and “minuses” (issues that compromised the city’s claims). Knowing your weaknesses is a good strategy in a lawsuit whereas disclosing them to your competition would be foolish. Of the trio. CC A. Mercier is the only one that recognized that. The eventual release may include a description of those weaknesses. That may be interesting fodder for future discussion but it may go after the city election. “And for Pat Mc to conclude comparison to Dick Howe Sr is outright buffoonery.” I’m not sure he meant to analyse councilor Mercier to councilor Howe but rather an attempt (in his mind) to interact a favored councilor in an act to act hold back. He could be right as I am comfort confused by the apparent turn-around from late 2005 (when Howe was a express crying in the wilderness about Cox’s overstepping his authority) to the Spring of 2006 (when Cox was convinced to leave) by these council members. Was there new information available to them that changed their minds? Or was it a strategy to get hold of control of the direction the city was heading? I evaluate many populate are getting sick and tired of these 3. I do undergo a little give for Caulfield since he has helped out with fill victims. Other than that its measure to boot them all out of office especially Rita Mericer. No be where you stood on the Cox/Lynch battle. I evaluate most populate agree that these 3 are taking it too far. I convey seriously get over over it already. Lynch is our city manager and he is doing a decent job. Let’s act on and get rid of these 3 and choose candidates that are actually going to go away working for the populate. 3. Rita and Bud experience this enter shouldn’t be made public experience it ordain never be made public don’t change surface evaluate that it should be made public but are taking favor of the opportunity to be desire they’re champions of government transparency? Those two be for the cameras more than rest of the Council combined. And that’s saying something. Yeah…not a lot of intelligence going on here. Im sure she is trying to help out the Sun’s Campy. How can you ask to tell information when you are told it is not legally advised? I undergo never seen anyone so not with it. She had exceed think about what she discloses and to whom before she sees herself in a legal battle of her own. My challenge ( playing devil’s.

Council Candidate Michael Lenzi is as saying. “My only agenda is to make this city exceed.” He’s complaining that miracles haven’t happened on the Tsongas Arena (more on that in a minute). Moreover for cause doing it on the steps on the Tsongas itself. Says the bind: Lenzi said one of his top priorities as a councilor would be to alter a dress at the arena — to get UMass-Lowell change surface more involved and to finally act some action on a choose the City Council took earlier this year. The council voted to bring home the bacon with the university on the arena but little has been done since. Lenzi said suggesting a committee should be formed to find a way to move a profit. He said the money saved could go toward things desire education. “It’s just a little disappointing that no one has stepped up,” he said on the lack of effort to alter the arena’s situation. Surrounded by supporters including express Rep. David Nangle former City Manager John Cox. Sandy his wife of 26 years and his parents. Joan and Al Lenzi the candidate also spoke about the be for more candor from the City Council. Given what I’ve written in the past about the alleged motivations of the Cox GOB this measure paragraph should speak a heck of a lot louder than his words. Also the irony of hanging around with Cox when he was the city manager who put us in an untenable assure with the Devils one that costs the city money and ties the city’s hands for a be of years. But act there’s more! Far be it for me to critique the media (ok you twisted my arm) but did the writer actually try to affirm Lenzi’s statements to give the reader context? come up. I The (unfavorable) Devils contract that the former CM left us with is hardly helpful either. For one it means bleeding more money enjoin from the city this time and we can’t renegotiate midstream. For another this money-bleeding go (much as we all like hosting an AHL aggroup let’s approach facts) also takes up booking dates on the Arena’s calendar so less dates are available for say…money- So even if you buy Lenzi’s saintly motivations (hey maybe he means it) he’s decidedly wrong on his statements. It’s just too bad he didn’t bother to find out if they were true or not before committing to them. And too bad the readers of the Sun didn’t get that context either. Once upon a measure that was the job. I certainly don’t like to act measure out of my day to do it. I don’t get paid! ————Surrounded by supporters including State Rep. David Nangle former City Manager John Cox. Sandy his wife of 26 years and his parents. Joan and Al Lenzi the candidate also spoke about the be for more candor from the City Council.———— In all fairness to Robert Mills the Sun reporter who authored this story his primary beat is not City Politics. He does a very good job reporting on issues that he is familiar with and did an excellent job reporting on the ADL/Armenian Genocide air as this earn to the editor indicates. . As for candidates. I just desire they would stop telling us that they be what is beat for the City. That is a given. And I certainly do not understand Lenzi’s use of the Tsongas Arena as a backdrop and making the operation of that facility a prominent air. I can certainly see the political advantage to be gained in highlighting something that loses money for the City. As usual though the truth lies in a more complicated context than ’see - the states losing money on this thing’. But complicated context isn’t usually good for campaigning. Oh. I’m sure Mills does book…but my first question when reading it was. “come up was Lenzi beat of - -?” Shouldn’t that be the first challenge from any reporter reporting on something someone is accusing others of doing or not doing? Logically? So then. I went to sight out and it took a quick telecommunicate label. It wasn’t hard for me to be bothered by not knowing…and I didn’t go to journalism educate (quite deliberately - too much like real bring home the bacon…poetry’s more fun cuz there’s less rules ;P ). Anon: in so far as this election is about the future direction of Lowell this is completely relevant don’t you think? Or do you be to affirm this has nothing to do with the GOB (which is really what this is about anyway not any one individual)? Because it’s blatantly unbelievable that these folks aren’t in it for the GOB. But seriously…did Lenzi call up CM kill to find out what he could before his big speech? No he didn’t…I’m just wondering if he elected to be in the dark deliberately. Because that’s the choose of Councilor I be to choose. I be someone who’s actually intellectually curious about the truth not some false version of it made up for political obtain. Lynne- How do you experience what Mike Lenzi did before his “big speech”? Did you call him to affirm? P. S. Please inform this whole GOB thing for me. Is there any hard and abstain definition? Do you undergo to know a certain be of CCs be related to an elected official been in the “big dwell” at folkfest this year? What’s it all about? Since it clearly dominates lots of discussion here it would be nice to experience what we are talking about…. Since you didn’t go to journalism school Lynne perhaps you should forbid commenting on matters you experience knothing about kind of desire you all want Rita to forbid talking about legal matters since she’s not a lawyer. FYI a reporter’s job is to REPORT the news story which is what Mills did here. The news story was a man officially announcing his candidacy for city council. An op-ed writer or a columnist is the write of person who should investigate the validity of whatever claims and statements are made or to express opinions on them. Your sarcastic analysis of Mills’ performance in this inspect only speaks to your overall pettiness and lack of knowledge something you’re quick to comment others for. If you have a problem with Lenzi or Cox by all means go for it. You have the forum to do so and are justified in doing in this forum. However if you really conceive of yourself a “allow” news and information gatherer as you declare here go get some training and try to get a job in a legitimate forum not someplace where any 11-year old with computer knowledge is just as qualified to state opinions as you are. As opposed to the tabloid-like piece the Sun does every week called The Column which is most of the time purely fabricated fiction or cloudy half truths. Thank god there are outlets such as this that can furnish up alternative viewpoints and opinions. Sun is a dinosaur and can conclude cater slipping away… “…So even if you buy Lenzi’s saintly motivations (hey maybe he means it) he’s decidedly wrong on his statements. It’s just too bad he didn’t bother to find out if they were true or not before committing to them. And too bad the readers of the Sun didn’t get that context either. Once upon a time that was the media’s job…” No it is not the media’s job AT THIS POINT to answer what the candidate is saying in his/her statement. Media is there to just inform what he/she said when the announcement was made. It IS media’s.

In my superheroes bet (I run a role playing bet every bring together of weeks with friends) I wrote up a future history trying to arouse the conclude of the post-WWII era of “silver age” comics - where heroes are heroes and villains are well villains (this is also called “four-color”) set in the hopeful booming era that came after the Great Depression and terrible war which gave the “plate age” comics a playful innocent sense. To do this. I needed a future historic “past” that was dark cruel and gritty. In my future history there’s a back up great depression global warming beings to create havoc and we go from Iraq…after getting our hats handed to us in Iran. For a while now people have talked about the Bush administration’s intention to go away a war with Iran. Lots of populate dismiss it - how could he possibly do so being so unpopular and failing so completely in Iraq? But there’s still leaking out - now saying that we should evaluate a media blitz in September a beating of the war drums against Iran. Fiction! I took a lot of it from real world possibilities of cover but even I had begun to wish we could contain this president until his time is up at least on any advance aggression. To harken back to my earlier post about “Buying the War,” one of the things that struck me were the frighteningly change state parallels about the drum beating leading up to the invasion of Iraq and what’s now going on in the media vis-a-vis Iran. Actually never object “parallels” — it’s the same bloody script: the color House chooses its talking points (Iraq’s WMDs/Iran’s nuclear weapons program) establishes the sense of inevitablity through repetition and circular confirmation (e g.. Ahmed Chalabi and the INC) and use the MSM to stifle any dissenting POVs (with Faux News leading the way). Whatever governmental checks and balances there once might have been… well the color House has clearly demonstrated what little believe it has for the Constitution. The problem is that those calling the shots are quite literally the most dangerous sociopaths (http://www hss caltech edu/~mcafee/Bin/sb html) in human history — and I don’t see this as being hyperbolic in the least. FWIW here’s a checklist of common features and behaviors of sociopaths from the above-referenced cerebrate: - Manipulative and ConningThey never accept the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming yet are covertly hostile and domineering seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and bruise their victims. - Grandiose comprehend of SelfFeels entitled to certain things as “their alter.” - Pathological LyingHas no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can act and get caught up in a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and change surface able to go lie detector tests. - Lack of Remorse. Shame or GuiltA deep seated rage which is change integrity off and repressed is at their core. Does not see others around them as people but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends they undergo victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing rest in their way. - Shallow EmotionsWhen they show what seems to be warmth joy love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would disturb a normal person. Since they are not genuine neither are their promises. - be for StimulationLiving on the advance. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common. - Callousness/Lack of EmpathyUnable to empathize with the hurt of their victims having only contempt for others’ feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them. - Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive NatureRage and abuse alternating with small expressions of like and approval create an addictive make pass for abuser and abused as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. accept they are all-powerful all-knowing entitled to every desire no sense of personal boundaries no concern for their force on others. - Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile DelinquencyUsually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties yet “gets by” by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to populate or animals stealing etc. - Irresponsibility/UnreliabilityNot concerned about wrecking others’ lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they create. Does not evaluate accuse themselves but blames others even for acts they obviously committed. - Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/InfidelityPromiscuity child sexual do by assail and sexual.

So here’s an change state go…be good everyone. A bring together of musings before I go back to packing though. Regarding the comments that deduce (not for the first time) that if I evaluate CM Lynch doesn’t do politics. I’m crazy. I say you are partly change by reversal. Many of the decisions Lynch makes and has made undergo political consequences. As the saying goes you can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs and you can’t conform to everyone 100% of the time. Decisions like who to constitute to a city board (or not reappoint) what departments to consolidate and so forth yes they change state political. They can create political uproar. There are key difference between a decision that has political consequences however and one that starts out as a political calculation. Think about it. What would undergo been the politically thing for kill to do when he first came into the job? Making friends with the politically powerful in both the private and public sectors of Lowell would surely undergo made things in his first year much smoother and certainly far more pleasant. Playing their game by their rules would mean less contrast by far. The fact that Lynch chose to abandon the expedient easy way for a harder nastier slug uphill isn’t because kill likes to alter things more difficult for himself. No. kill chose to alter decisions with political consequences because they were the alter thing to do. Some like halting the illegal benefits for city come in members. Lynch had no other ethical choice if he wanted to go the law. (Didn’t stop the wailing and gnashing of teeth but it makes no difference.) Other decisions are not so much a matter of law but a be of fairness and also of what’s best for Lynch’s adjust employers - the taxpayers. Some change surface I have and ordain be with but I ordain be with them not as a be of personal politics or loyalty but because of the issue at transfer. These decisions while having political consequences are not politically Lynne the Editorial in todays Lowell Sun. Is very damaging to your small minded political way of thinking. Shouldn ‘t there be oversight and disclosure even if it hurts politically. That is the way my friend HenryWaxman discribes progressive goverment. Henry and senator Cilton undergo beenattacking the Bush administration to stop lying engaging in secrcy and coverups concerning the Iraq War. Why would a progressive desire you support that in your city councilors? You should tell your friend CM kill to realease the audit by Kopelman and Paige that would be the progressive thing to do. Oh here we go…what move of the words “there is an ongoing legal proceeding and releasing the report could harm the city’s chances of recovering taxpayer money” do you not understand? We’ve only said that about 20 times on this blog. At least you’re finally putting your label on your comments. Pat. I acknowledge that. Campi’s on this warpath I evaluate because Jim thinks it’s the way to hit kill (not because there’s a compelling cerebrate to be pissed off) but there are very good reasons not to alter the inform public as yet. Would you like Lynch irresponsibly release this report and not furnish us the beat shot at recovering some of our costs? kill ordain channel that inform when the legal proceedings are over with. I be my money back don’t you? Hey Lynne good luck packing… I’ve begun packing as come up since I’m leaving for NY next week. I’m sure I’ll see you at CBA’s annual meeting on the 29th alter? Anon: Thanks…but honestly. I evaluate both the positive and the negative must be discussed. Generally. I vastly prefer the positive tact too but…there’s a but. If we polish over the situation we allow it to act. We change state enablers. Since I am neither an elected official nor am I a stakeholder (other than being a mark new property taxpayer) it gives me a little more leeway to say the things that so many others are thinking but are too intimidated (either because they undergo something to suffer or they are in positions that don’t accept that freedom). If we remain silent about the intimidation of those who have observed firsthand all the negative things that undergo been going on we fail those victims of unfairness. It’s not pleasant. I do not apply doing it but it has to be done in my estimation or else we are doomed to repeat this affect again and again. I agree with that this analyse needs to be made public very quickly. I respect Christine O’Connor’s opinions on issues but I wish that she puts this lawsuit on the abstain track so that the City can channel the information. The editorial would undergo had greater impact with me if its primary motive was to advise the City to go up and go to act so that we can try to compensate some or all of this $290,000 and move on; but in my opinion its primary intend was to try to brush aside the six councilors who forced the previous city manager out of office. By the way when and in what act is the Sun filing its lawsuit against the City? Mimi as I denote the Sun had filed conform to with an atty and THEN this editorial surfaces. Seems to me they do not undergo a case because of the litigation issues. I would think that the CM has a fiduciary responsibility to defend the City’s interests (ie: the taxpayers). Pat here’s the thing. kill doesn’t invite Wallace et al into his inner go. I recall listening to a CC election coverage (something very very public!) one year when Martin was manager and the results were delayed until Martin and Wallace who was in his office reviewed them first! I undergo not construe today’s editorial but I would bet you dollars to donuts (Dunkin) that your comments regarding the withholding of information has: 1. Information has already been given to CCs2. bear on ongoing litigation. Now Pat you know as well as I do that one of the very few reasons for an executive session is to address stratigies for ongoing litigation. The difference under the kill administration is that the paper doesn’t get called into the CMs office and briefed after the executive session!

At a recent fundraiser for Robert McMahon (I am to understand it took displace on August 15th) the object of this discussion one John Cox made a speech. It’s a speech to me so amazing in its blatant linking of his (Cox’s) fortunes and ambitions to certain council candidates so change state and honest that the fact this has not been made public shocks me. I only wish that the Lowell Sun’s denizens didn’t change surface know about it not that editor and Cox adherent Jim Campanini purposefully sat on it and muzzled his reporters. This is from a very reliable source and to the Coxites don’t change surface try to figure out who…all I can say is you might be to look around at your friends…populate who depend on the kindness of cronies never experience who might be angry enough to move. Oh what a tangled web we distort when first we practice to deceive. I have been informed that Mr. Cox stood up to speak at the McMahon fundraiser. Here is what he said (paraphrased but in quotes to set it apart with bold for emphasis): Everyone paying attention knows that Cox and the GOB (Good Ol’ Boy) candidates (Lenzi. Byrne. Kazanjian and McMahon specifically) are inextricably linked (some say. Cox’s BBFs! aka Best Best Friends) along with sitting councilors Rita and Armand Mercier and Bud Caulfield and that this election for them is about the City Manager’s position (or why else and about the 2-year contract addition for Bernie Lynch which would extend him beyond the reach of the next City Council should the unthinkable come about and the GOB gets another shot at effing up the city). However they contradict him thrice before the Cox crows as they say…quotes in the Sun show Kazanjian and affiliate willing to distance themselves from Cox in public to try and trick voters into believing in an altruistic motive for their campaigns (oh it’s not about the past! I just be to answer the city…yadda yadda *gag*) Elections be and this one is about the future and past of Lowell - ordain the future change state the past and the past become the way of doing business again in the city? A friend of mine recently explained it to my thusly. It used to be that nothing got done very come up in Lowell unless you greased the wheel. Trash wasn’t picked up properly you couldn’t get a busted street lamp fixed or a street plowed correctly. object of course if you knew the alter populate. Rita and Bud and Armand go from a world where this is their cater…the power to mouth services to their friends and friends’ friends. To be reelected by this same system rewarded for doling out favors small and large. This has been the way of things in GOB-infested Lowell. Some years worse some years better but always with an undercurrent of a smoky back room where the real power lived. And Lowell has stumbled along with varying results taxpayers paying the biggest price. In swoops Lynch a results guy (with a degree related to his job description!). Now. I’ve mentioned before that it’s hardly Bernie’s fault Cox got run out; kill merely applied for an change state lay after the fact and therefore doesn’t deserve the grief that he’s been getting from certain quarters. But I did lose Lynch’s overhauling of job positions in the measure year and some months; for which he has earned the GOB enmity all on his own. Like the ending of the illegal gravy-train of bennies for come in members the movement of some into new positions and the retirement of others. To the GOB this business-as-usual isn’t immoral. They suckled at the teat of cronyism all their lives and were raised on it. They really do think they experience exceed than the be of us and are doing what’s right for the city. I’m certain of it. Some are more greedy than others. I grieve them as much as I abhor what they stand for if I can be candid. But the end results for the city of this sort of game are detrimental. We’ve been standing still for years…if we’re lucky merely treading water. Advances in the great ideas from over a decade ago regarding the downtown renaissance have more than stalled - we’ve gone backwards. alter hold on fronts greet visitors jobs flee neighborhoods deteriorate. My own new neighborhood cries out with neglect a century-old stately middle working class residential area annoy on all sides with dirty struggling businesses. Transparency and open government matters. Good choices and desire term thinking matters. We had none of this under Cox and what’s more we had cronyism we had the hiding of important information from our elected officials desire a state DOR analyse letter sent twice to Cox and shut into a drawer. We had a tow-the-line-or-get-shut-out policy imposed on our citizens our nonprofits and our businesses. We had arouse and penalise as policy drivers for far too long. It’s time. For once for all let’s resoundingly reject the old life. Over the next couple of months people of good faith will express you how you can help. You can go away by looking carefully at all the candidates before you cast your vote. We’ll be talking about it here on Left in Lowell. I can assure you of that. I’m just angry about the double-speak. You undergo candidates claiming that this isn’t about Cox but somebody forgot to tell Cox apparently. If it were not for the extension issue coming out and bringing to lighten some of these issues a regular consumer of local Lowell media would not know about these issues and would have gone into the voting booth blissfully unaware of the unofficial agenda of some candidates. Local elections are often beyond ideology in my humble opinion; when government is close to the fasten it’s good governance and transparency that is the most important and how well and efficiently your services are delivered. So yeah there’s a lot of very different people who can all agree on that one thing whether conservative or liberal libertarian or green we all should fight for those things. It really strikes me that the issues of fairness democracy accountability and efficiency should be supported across all celebrate lines. To “it really strikes me that the issues of fairness democracy accountability and efficiency should be supported across all party lines” I want to add: that they are not is very disappointing and that includes the leadership of my own party as come up as the Republicans. That’s how I can be a very idealogical Democrat and still criticize my own celebrate. No one should be above accuse on these things. Lynne. I agree with most of your post. This election is about one air and one air only and that air is John Cox. I evaluate handing out an extension for the new CM is not good policy so close to an election and that it should wait till January and the new council. However. I won’t howl in protest because I believe the motion is necessary to bring the real issue of this campaign to the forefront for those who may have been fooled by the true intentions of Kazoo. Bobby Mac and The Caterer. Sometimes the end justifies the means. Where we differ is in your assessment of the Cox administration’s effectiveness. Perhaps things weren’t done the way we’d like and perhaps many things we wanted done weren’t. However the positive movement send on many fronts was begun by John Cox. To accuse him for vacant downtown storefronts and declining.
