City Council Yes Men

  • Thursday, January 17, 2013

I read an opinion response earlier by Rock Land.  I have to agree with Mr. Land about our City Council.  Ladd, Rico and Benson are rubber stamps for anything that the mayor and his friends want.  And let’s not forget the River City Co. when we discuss rubber stamps.   

I would like to add that although Robinson is not seeking re-election she also belongs in the mayor's rubber stamp group.  That said, it is troubling how she is supporting one candidate in District 2.  There is an old saying, birds of a feather flock together.   I would urge voters in District 2 to consider that saying when before voting.   

Look at the other candidates running for the office and don’t let the high dollar advertising control your thinking.  I personally do not want another term of what Robinson had to offer nor what I am sure is will be a replay of her actions in the future.  I would like to see some new blood and new ideas on the city council.
