The Star is profiling the 12 mayoral candidates one at a time.
Today: Jim Glover: Glover has a plan and it involves neighborhoods
Previously:
- Stan Glazer: Glazer runs as 'visionary' with entrepreneurial spirit
- Mark Funkhouser: Ex-auditor says he'll make system work better
- John Fairfield: Assertiveness considered a key attribute
- Janice Ellis: Attention to basic services is a priority
- Chuck Eddy: Councilman emphasizes experience
- John David DiCapo: 'Give the small guy a chance'
- Alvin Brooks: A love for the city drives a life of service
- And here's Jeff Spivak's and Lynn Horsley's summary overview.
Also, Horsley provides a summary look at the council races.
So DiCapo couldn’t compete with street vendors because of their low overhead? His business had many advantages over theirs: climate controlled building, dining tables, seating, beer license. I don’t see how he can seriously expect to be considered a “small business advocate” when he tried to drive away his small business competition because his restaraunt was a failure. His attacks on city employees was completely asinine. He pissed off his client base every time he wrote a letter to the editor. This guys candidacy is going to fail faster than his crappy restaraunt.

When you profile Shields, the header should read: Krime, Korruption and Kronyism: Kueen Katheryn's KC Kalendar

Honestly - why did DiCapo even get mentioned at all?

I love the sign on Ward Parkway "ANYONE BUT CHUCK EDDY"
Posted by: Mod Dem | February 07, 2007 at 12:49 PM
Do You even know why he sign is there on wardparkway?? I doubt it.. it's because a relative of a bar employee doesn't like the CLEAN AIR Ordinance that Chuck Eddy introduced to the city council. Eddy seems to take everyones crap for the wrong reasons. He is the only one on the council that has stayed true to their responsibilites and not hid behind wanting to become the next mayor.(Brooks and who ever else supports the ordinance but is too chicken to speak up and have a cheap banner put up in THEIR Name ) Chuck is still the stronger candidate and needs to be recognized for standing up for what is good for the majority. check out his web site for more deatils, Please!! www.electchuckeddy.org

True dat on the DiCappo comment. His problems would have been solved if he would have served good food.
Posted by: | February 07, 2007 at 07:30 PM
It is going to be Funkhouser vs Brooks for the final two.
It will be interesting between those two.

Naces profile Underworld Republican
Posted by: | February 08, 2007 at 07:27 PM
Jim Glover is the best candidate, in my opinion.
Posted by: Drew Murphy | February 09, 2007 at 01:58 PM
Marman-
You have got to be kidding! The reason Eddy takes crap is because he offers crap. I am in agreement with the smoking ban - FOR EVERYONE -. But what does he do? He tries to pass an ordinance that bans smoking through out the city - BUT WAIT - except at casinos. What a phony!
All of the reasons the ban has been suggested make sense. So Chuck, pass an ordinance that bans smoking-period, or don't pass one at all!
What a phony!
You figure it out. Crap in crap out

Fairfield for Dog Catcher!

I'd like to see Janice Ellis actually answer a question, one. Just answer it. Two, when answering a question, can she do so in less than 400 words? Apparently a PhD in communication arts is really the same as a PhD in bullshitting.
Posted by: rp | February 11, 2007 at 02:30 AM
The reason Janice Ellis doesn't ever answer any questions is that she doesn't have any answers. She's totally clueless. That's why her solution to every problem is setting up a friggin' task force. Because then there would be somebody to tell her what's actually going on in this city

Mark Funkhouse for Mayor.

"Today: Stan Glazer: Glazer runs as 'visionary' with entrepreneurial spirit"
There's a word for people that have "visions" - nutcases.

As for your comment about Glazer, Mr. Screeching Monkey, I think a more appropriate way to phrase his approach, after you scrape the polish off and get to the turd, is this:
Today: Stan Glazer: Glazer runs like a fool with other people's money.
