Now I see why Ward wants a COO: he needs someone to run the city while he cavorts about on PR activity.
7:15am - you must be a COO supporter trying to get all of the support that you can by wanting people, untruthfully,to believe that ward wants a coo - that is devious and misleading. Either let the coo issue stand on it's own TRUTHFUL merits, or lack of any merits,or give it up.
the latter is preferable.

No, I think the poster before you doesn't understand the COO battle, but none the less thinks that Ward is a bum.
Gee 7:15, imagine that....Ward meeting with Larson to try to get money for some of Bristol's citizens....tsk, tsk, how dare he cavort about so carelessly! He acts like he's the mayor or something!....oops, wait a minute....
It sounds like 7:15 is confused about a lot of things.
Or the people sre.
