I think I have a lot more experience than he does with municipal matters, having four years in government already. However, he's an extremely popular and a wise man, and he'll be a formidable opponent.

I'm merely running for a more cohesive unit. It's not a Democratic or Republican thing to have more efficient government. It's something everybody wants. Everybody wants some fiscal responsibility. That will strike a chord with all the voters.

Now that he's no longer a factor, it appears that it's strictly going to be a choice between what Judge Walker has to offer and what I have to offer.

As such, I think it was a good investment, and Ford Park is not a bad idea. It's just that not enough people were brought into the mix to guarantee it's going to be successful.

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

If I need a cause for celebrationOr a comfort I can use to ease my mindI rely on my imaginationAnd I dream of an imaginary time.
