You've got my vote!.. Wait.. what do you think about building roads and stuff?
Gosh, Wulf . . . you should be DOT Commish or whatever they call it, LOL. Then you can make sure we get all the roads we need.
I honestly do believe . .. until we citizens start getting involved and do some POLITICAL MACHINE BUSTING in this state . . . CLT is gonna be the Ugly Stepchild for decades to come.
Take our money . . . and use it for everyone else's pet projects elsewhere in the state . . .
PS - Ani - if you run for the seat I will do everything I can to help you win!!!!!
Thanks for the support, C'born! But I was gonna tell you . . . w/ all your passion for this city/county - YOU should run for office! Or be part of a Political Watchdog group! That way, you can stay here and be actively involved in making it all better!!!!
Too often, those of us who really would like to contribute to our communities get discouraged b/c of the corruption, ineptitude and self-serving politicians we see getting elected. What we OUGHT to do is band together - across party lines - who cares what party!!!! - and hold these guys accountable . . . expose the idiocy . . . pork . . pet projects . . .
I yell at TVs, too . . . and yes, my blood pressure shoots up . . . but I keep telling myself . . . there have to be more people like me out there - who want to see the right things done for our county and city . . . for our citizens . . . we just need to organize . . . two years will fly by!!!!
It reminds me of when Marion Berry was re-elected in DC after being busted for crack.
Just goes to show . . . As has been his typical style, Mackey is an opportunist and he read the tea leaves correctly . . . it doesn't take much paperwork or $$ to file to run for public office and Mackie realized he could do that and glide in on Obama's coat tails come Nov. And BY GOSH - HE DID IT!!!!
Can anyone point out a single good thing about this guy? He's bad with money, doesn't show up to court, and who knows what else. Can we expect several votes for "present"? If he shows up at all.
