Quoted from benny salami

How dare Roger Hull think he can pick better than Mayor McCheese, Tom Bellick and the pinhead who needs new glasses? Those are the "leaders" that should be making all decisions. Besides they are so good
with a budget-lol. Tried in California. Guess what? You get all DEMS running anyway. Jason Cuthbert would finish last. He was right but no one listened and even fewer care. One trick pony. 3 new business leaders
with private sector expertise and the cash to take it.

Obviously, you don't know how to read because NOWHERE did I say that any partisan political leader should be making all the decisions.  I personally believe that the decision of who runs should be made by the voters AND I believe that a NON-PARTISAN election process would be the best for all municipalities in the state. Furthermore, the non-partisan system has been used in quite a number of states and NOT just California  and it has worked in other states and - I know from personal experience that it has allowed a mix of Republicans, Democrats and others who were either not registered in a specific party or whom were registered in minor parties to get elected to public office.  

Yeah, a bunch of non-registered DEMS to continue the downward spiral!

Let Hull do his thing, let Cuthburt run, let someone with a brain bigger than a pea run for these seats. Too many registered DEMS in the City, they could NEVER vote for a REP!!! Like I said, IND or Alliance is less guilt at the voting booth.
