Ryan -

Hope this means we'll be arguing again?

I kind of miss it.

Please consider allowing us to take our observer status to the next level.
Why not keep a journal online as you go about making your decision whether to run and for what office?

We can be exposed as to the thought process of how one goes about planning to run. You can take us into the discussions you have with your inner circle as well. Crafting talking points, honing a theme, etc.

After all there are plenty of people who talk the talk but only a few that walk the talk. It seems that you are in the latter category.

Why limit this to Ryan, call out the city. It is long overdue, as the "power brokers" have slinked back under rocks and into back hallways. The current trend is to run the bright but critical out of town, so that they can get "new" innovative to be paid for being friends or channeling funds.

The new battle cry is the back to the old battle cry, Pssssssssssssssst let's have a very private meeting, so that we can change the city the way I want, because the idea cannot be vetted or see the light of day, well at least not yet!

Yes Ryan is one of the very few that does walk the talk, but isn't it time for
all to do the same? Or do we continue to let the shadows, the civic phantoms run our city into the ground as they have for the past 20+ years?


FWIW

I have to agree here. Ryan has been posting more as of late, and I credit him for stepping out into the limelight and speaking his mind.

Even if he and I might not agree on a lot, I can commend him for speaking his mind. I think that's more valuable than telling everyone what they want to hear.

Mr. O'Bryan,

I wasn't calling anyone out. I am relatively new to this deck so I don't know to what you are referring. Who is slinking under rocks? And in whose back hallway are these rocks?

Back to Mr. Demro. All I was suggesting was an on-line journal. I would like some in-sight into the makings of a politcal campaign.
