Unfortunately, I still think Ken Johnson's ridiculous hissy fit at the council meeting still holds the prize for the "hothead" award. I can't honestly say I've ever seen Ward lose his cool, although I wouldn't blame him if he did with some of the shameless, nasty, immature behavior of some of the people he has to deal with. <BR/><BR/>As far as Cockayne for Mayor(LOL!!!)....I do believe that ship has sailed/sunk. His involvement in the COO debacle, his failure to communicate, his total lack of a spinal cord, his slanderous and slimy "mad dog" public attack on the mayor, all very good reasons why the only position Ken is qualified for is village idiot!

In reality, the views you share with him are not pro taxpayer, but simply anti-union. The vast majority of union members are Bristol taxpayers, yet Mr. Cockayne <BR/>shows nothing but jealousy and disdain for this group of taxpayers. That is why he was relieved of his duty on the GASB group, you can't have that type of hostility in a committee that is trying to be fair and impartial.
