He's a Democratic and there are to may other issues but I sure do hope that he gains more influence within his party and helps to shift the culture. On my side of the Hudson the closest to a hero is a City Councilman, Dan Halloran who s exposing the Sanitation Workers deliberately failing to clear the streets because they want more money.

These people have been taken advantage of by past administrations going back to the 60's. Fixing Newark is a project that not many would undertake. Too easy to look the other way and back out as so many have.

PLUS.<br />The Mayor responds to people saying their relatives can't get out and get diapers / food. PLUS? Or how about WHY DON'T YOU GET OUT AND HELP YOUR OWN RELATIVES?! Why do you depend on the mayor? What about YOUR neighbors? I know my neighbors and I take care of our older folks who leave nearby whenever it snows, or what have you.<br />Anyway, the Mayor is a stud for getting the job done. I'm most impressed with his forward leadership and taking personal action to coordinate the action of people whose job it is to actually shovel the snow. Everything else is nice, but LEADERSHIP is where it's at.Salty Gatornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-55316747037053434722011-01-03T09:44:45.000-05:002011-01-03T09:44:45.000-05:00<span>Good leasership.

Ever since a mayor lost in 1979 because of uncleared roadways, the city is downright AGGRESSIVE in clearing streets, making this election schedule VERY effective for snow removal!MidMomnoreply@blogger.com
