Is Billy going to run?

I would vote for almost ANYone besides Don or Dan, however a lawyer is not one of them. No lawyer should be allowed to run for ANY office, they have an obvious conflict of interest: they control the very system that enriches attorneys, the legal system. NO LAWYERS IN ANY ELECTED OFFICE! It's why we're in the hopeless mess this contry is in. The foxes are in charge of the chicken farm and are using it to GET FAT!

A basketball referee or a failed bait shop owner are the other choices. And they were both failures as mayors. I don't know how a lawyer can get fat being mayor. I don't like lawyers generally either, but this is a no brainer.

Carl is smart - he is young and he has a cool head. Go Carl!!!

A very liberal lawyer with a wife who used to be a writer for DD! Two red flags against him!

I met him when he was campaigning for Chris Priest, a Republican. He's the one trying to be conservative with city money. But all I need to know is that he isn't named Don.

William is right. I understand Mr. Cole is highly respected in the legal profession.

But then Kyle is highly respected in the boat repair profession and Stanford is highly respected among refs.

Actually Tom, I was told that Kyle went to the big democratic fundraiser Saturday.

ANYONE BUT STANDFORD! ANYONE BUT REEVES! ANYONE BUT ANDERS!

LET'S ELECT SOME GOOD PEOPLES THIS TIME!!

p.s.- Tiffany, please give up this beat. You have no nose for news. SO many things either fly right over your head or you just don't seem to understand what is happening around you. It is a disservice to the citizens of Decatur.
