Yup, you read that right.

I will be leaving town now... When is it safe to return ????
The city's in good hands.
NOw that Ward is living high on the hog - he takes several vacations. Guess the rest of us should save our pennies for taxes.
It things weren't bad enough before, now we have Cockayne running things. "God Help Us".
wonder if Rosenthal started packing his bags!!
God bless Ken Cockayne!!!
Hope he is house hunting!
Hurry up Cockayne , you only have a week to show your power!
ken is a hell of alot better then ward. must be nice to be able to go on vacation who's able to save pennies when property taxes are so high.
Give it a rest. The man deserves some time off. Hes done more in 2 years then stortz adn coture together. Plus has to clean up franks shit.
Ken you have a chance to rattle the unions DO IT . Make them sweat its time someone steps up its out of control . Start with the school system and then dept heads.
At least Ward knows who to count on the GOP NOT HIS OWN.
Will Ward be posting from Florida?
8:47 PM - Hope you are too!
OMG! Hurry back Mr. Ward. Mad dog is on the loose!
I hope Ward has Cockayne checking up on Rosenthal. He doesn't come to work on time when Ward is there, what time will he get there when he's not.
If Ward does, Cockayne will ride him and maybe straighten Rosenthal out!
Scott Brown has stopped the biggest government and corrupt take-over of the private sector since the Nazis took over German industry (albeit the Nazis were successful and the Democrats are not)...and a few local-yokels are sniping about virtually nothing.
Pathetic.
Thank you Scott Brown and thank you Masschusetts!!!!!!!
sorta gives you an idea of what his relationship is with the Democrats. He knew about his vacation, so this is a choice that he made.

Just what has he done?
Couture and Stortz worked to clean up the city, to play catch up after Nicastro, did something about the Mall site.
Again, just what has Ward done?
He has abandoned the older veterans, excepy his legion buddies, done nothing in the west end: he has even ignored the things he criticized others for.
Hope that this is his last term.
Hey Jan 20th 7:00 AM
Kenny is on board with the unions now. Don't you read the papers? Kenny finally woke up and realized where the power base was in this community. Ken will say what he has to say in public as a Republican, but who do you think was going into his office on Main Street and having private conversations with him: UNION MEMBERS. That's right, union members. And those insider conversations and that information comes with a cost. The unions are all set in this city, don't you worry your little unemployed, job bank, private sector, tried to get rich quick head. This time around, no givebacks, nothing.
Ken shame on you sleeping with the union RATS.
Jonathan . . . Keep one eye open when you're sleeping in your office. Mad Dog may be lurking with a camera.
12:13 poster,
Your couldn't be farther from the truth.
The unions are a has been. They no longer have the power they think they do.
Cockayne been Lydem, a union leader three years ago. This year he was less then 40 votes from your Union Boy McCauley and kicked your other unoin guy's A__ in the poles. Mills beat your union boy Parker.
Keep thinking Cockayne is in bed with you. Your falling right into his trap! HAHA!! We will all get a good laugh when Mad Dog bites!
think that there might be a 'coup taking place while ward is gone - matthews and mccauley stumbling over cockayne to get to the media first?

Mills is really a Democrat. He has more Democratic buddies and loyalties then you can even imagine. Watch how he votes on issues this rear, time will tell. As far as GASBY goes, watch and see what the unions get as a concession even though the city does not have to negotiate with them or give them anything at all. To be nice too the unions and secure the votes for next election, if GASBY goes through, the unions will get something in return and win big time.
January 20, 2010 2:47 PM:
You mean "The Great GASBY (sic)"?
Maybe Cockayne will watch Kloko and his office and see the hours that they keep.
Kloko thinks that he is at a country club,and lets some of his staff do the same.
Ward is afraid of Kloko, just as he is afraid of the Personnel Director.
The use of GASB DOES NOT address the underlying problem.
When is Ward going to address that?
Believe me 2:17, we all know that Mad Dog bites...it's a little embarrassing, but we're all laughing about it.
2:17 PM, aka Stortz...give it up already.
"there might be a 'coup taking place while ward is gone - matthews and mccauley stumbling over cockayne to get to the media first?"
Not too much to worry about, Matthews, McCauley and Cockayne think a "coup" is something chickens live it...
Cockayne is a mile wide and one inch deep!
No substance at all!
He is afraid of Klocko, just as his buddy Ward is, and actually listens to him.
And he thinks he can be mayor?
BAH!
Positively right who is always right (he thinks so) is still out there lurking with the partison cockroaches.Useless partison cockroaches I mean!
And now back to the city budget.
What budget in bristol we wing it
716
Only under this administration!
1:01
And that includes Cockayne.
