Mayor of your Town or City

Do they do a good job? Just curious?

Toronto is my hometown and it's Mayors have been disaster's for the most part.
I live in Mississauga now which before you make fun of it is larger than Cleveland and Milwaukee. Any ways our Mayor has done a great job, she's been elected for 11 straight terms or something like that, she hasn't even had to campaign the last 5 or 6 elections last one she got over 90 % of the vote. City is debt free and has not had to borrow money since the late 70's. And shes 89 years old, lol.

Current mayor of SLC okay....no issues. Last guy (Rocky Anderson) was a nutjob.

Mayor Nagin down in Nawlins was great until he actually had to do something. After Katrina, we realized he sucked. Glad Mr. "Chocolate City" is out. What a douche.

Our Mayor in Toronto is not running for re-election come October, so we shall see who gets in. However, the vast majority of these clowns aren't good, so you really are in a no win situation.

hes the man








Pittsburgh Mayor changed his name to Steelerstahl when steelers played the ravens in playoffs last year, lol


Some of the callers called in and thought it would be a good idea to change from Ravenstahl, given that we're playing the hated Baltimore Ravens this weekend, to Steelerstahl," he said. "As soon as I heard it, I thought it was a great idea."

Coincidentally, "stahl" is German for "steel."

Omaha is broke- we already pay high taxes and they need more. We have some great events in town that makes tons of money- but they blow it.
college world series- ncaa events- many many fantastic concerts with all the big names

I guess years ago they passed a law where police offers can retire after like 25 and they get pension $ equal to the average of their three highest years- So what they were doing is busting their butts getting as much overtime as possible for 3 years to get that 3 year average up there- Some were retiring at 50 ish and getting up to 70k

Hahaha. People use to love Rendell when he was the mayor, now they hate his guts.

At least Nutter isn't a crackhead off the "Street" hahaha.

I actually like Nutter, Street left this city in such shambles but the dumbasses kept re-electing him. I dont hate Rendell but def dont like him nearly as much as before. Hate seeing his political ass on Iggles post game makes no sense
