This country was founded on the principle of private property ownership -- at least that's what the antigovernment crowd says -- so why isn't there any criticism of the guy who actually owns this place? He's collecting rent, doesn't he owe his tenants a decent place to live? Or does he get a free pass on this because it's easier for Adam Belz and the rest of the anti-government crowd to just dump on the code enforcers?

Is that why the Veterans Memorial Building Manager has a budget of over a million dollars this year and when he's not freeloading at Aegon, he and his boys who each make about 50K a year are hanging around that rotting building smoking cigars and drinking coffee all day?

And don't forget to vote for Ron's slate-partner Chuck Swore, who has announced his opposition to Public Libraries. No Shakespeare for these guys, right Johnny!!

I can't believe all of you "Culture of Negativity" types can't remember Mayor Pate! Sounds like Paul will be Ron's role model!
