Nothing to brag about." <br /><br />I and many, many others beg to differ, however, as stated earlier I am certain that you will never admit that our city managers are doing a good job, so I won't waste anymore time. <br /><br />#2.

"All this could have been done months ago, if their was any leadership in city hall."<br /><br />Bad weather, unexpected delays, emergencies, etc., etc...even the best laid plans can, believe it or not, run awry when you are managing an operation as large as the City of Bristol...ya think? <br /><br />#4. "Pot holes happen as you say. So why not be prepared to fix them, promptly. And by underfunding this basic service, the problem will only be compounded in months and years to come."<br /><br />Ah yes, the GD potholes (again). Tough winter. Horrible year economically speaking. Getting fixed. End of story.<br /><br />#5. "HE was teh one that bragged about his 12 14 16 years of experience as he campaigned/campaigns."<br /><br />Gee golly, someone running for office describing their history of community service...shocker. Maybe he should keep it a secret? <br /><br />#6. "He tries to make himself look good with fluff pieces and avoids the difficult issues."<br /><br />Give me a break. If he's as bad as you say he is, all the fluff in the world couldn't hide it. Maybe you need to consider the possiblity that he looks good because he's doing a good job...but then we all know THAT is not going to happen now, don't we? <br /><br />I think 9:00 AM hit the nail on the head - "sounds like a personal problem."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-68978904196972816492010-07-31T09:00:31.615-04:002010-07-31T09:00:31.615-04:005:11 PM, You haven't proven anything other tha...5:11 PM, You haven't proven anything other than my point...Your obvious grudge sounds more like a personal problem.Nobody's Lackeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-83123334701117369442010-07-31T06:53:03.596-04:002010-07-31T06:53:03.596-04:007:39

Even if you won't admit it, it was an organized, well-managed cleanup.<br /><br />Second: The little league tournament doesn't start for almost a week. The city has plenty of time to finish the road so those "thousands of visitors coming to Bristol" won't be SOOOO put out by the fact that we're improving our town...it might actually be called "marketing the city."<br /><br />Thirdly: This mayor is not responsible for the road conditions. The rough winter was to blame and repairs are being made, in spite of the fact that it was a tough economic year. <br /><br />Lastly, I've never heard Ward "brag" about his 16 years in office.
