September 24, 2014 I am not going to waste too many words on the September 23 debate/debacle except to say we have all seen more civilized displays on the Jerry Springer Show, and more intellect at a hockey fight. If you asked me to declare a winner, I would give it to the media, who…

Sunday, June 1, 2014 It’s hard to watch mayoral candidates bicker amongst each other when there is a city to fix.
