酷我-北美枫

[anna]

I remind you that as mayor he once tried to buy some public parkland — owned by you and me — in order to expand his private property.


Mel would not have tried that.


I remind you that he made calls to city staff on behalf of his friends. I remind you that he used city letterhead to ask lobbyists to cough up a little cash in order to support his private hobby.


Lobbyists? Show me how that isn’t one hand preparing to wash the other.


He stole time from office to coach kids he later ridiculed in one of his drunken stupors, thus making fools of all of us.


I remind you that he commandeered a city bus to take some high school football players home from a game in the rain. Could you do that for your team?


He made sure the road and culvert in front of the family business were repaired in time for the company’s anniversary. Could you do that for your business?


Gravy is gravy.
