Busted Outside My Office

A lady being taken away by police after a traffic stop in front of my building. 700 block of Broad Street.  March 23, 2009.

OK, Dan, Fine.

Dan Lehr, a producer at Newschannel 9 and my former internship supervisor at the station, gently chided me via Twitter recently that while he would be glad to add my blog to the blogroll on his (very awesome) “Public Interest” blog, I needed to post more often.

While most of my online time as of late has been spent firing off one-liners on Twitter, I will do my best to ramp up my contributions here. I mean, this site is named after me. If I don’t do it, who will?

Stay tuned…

Why I Am Voting for Rob Healy

While my reasons for initially endorsing Joe Lance for Mayor were a bit more drawn-out, I’ll keep it a bit more brief this time around. (There’s not much time. It’s already Election Day.)

I am voting for Rob Healy because, when he talks, I believe what he says. He admits he’s not perfect and that he might make some mistakes. He recognizes the need to surround himself with good people who should be left alone to do their jobs. He also hates corruption and government waste, and was willing to lose his job fighting it. He also loves this city.

I am not voting for Ron Littlefield because, when he talks, I often have trouble believing what he says. I have major issues with many of the people he’s hired, promoted, or retained since taking office. He has been quick to point fingers and stretch the truth when things haven’t gone his way, and he’s regularly used politics as an excuse for corruption and government waste. And, most of all, he’s done all of this while leading a city that he claims to love.
