Referencing love of Cream Filled pastries doesn't address the issue that he loves all pastries creme filled or not. Donuts, éclairs, twinkes - Chet Culver does not discriminate!

These politicians are always saying one thing and doing another - perhaps it's our faults - are our expectations too high?

FEMA is this cities insurance company in times of disaster - so Mr.Brian Fa_gan had it correct: We need to take our time, get it right and get the money that we're rightfully owed to rebuild this City. "One of the things we used to say in the Marines was - Slow is smooth - smooth is fast." Lets be smooth about who we pick to rebuild our city - Mr.Smart (Brian) or Mr.Slick (The other guy) Sun, 1 Nov 2009 18:35:05 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/local-news/government/2009/10/30/mayoral-candidates-lash-out-against-city-manager-in-final-debate#IDComment41437794 http://gazetteonline.com/local-news/government/2009/10/30/mayoral-candidates-lash-out-against-city-manager-in-final-debate#IDComment41437248 You're right - it's sad for me to admit it but you're right. I used to listen to what fast ron had to say and then I talked to some friends in New Orleans about how things went for them after the flood. FA_GAN isn't perfect - but he's been right about more things than not - he's used FACTS and LEADERSHIP to get try to get things done and all's the other guy (fast ron) has done is just talk talk talk...that's the real culture of delay.

Vote mr.Fa_gan - all the way.

Brian Fagan is one of them.

Jerry who is currently being propped up by fast ronny corbett can't hear - and Shey seems to be alert informed and articulate about what's going on. - If you listen to Jerry Mcgrane talk about crime he lacks crediblity it's like that he doesn't know that it's down 22% this year.

Jerry Mcgrane doesn't have it anymore and Ron Corbett has done a good job of propping him up.
