Great news! Paul is the mayor we need for this time in the city’s growth and development.
I don’t know what Scott’s 6 readers would do if he were elected mayor.
And considering ‘Anonymous, 7:19’ and ‘Anonymous, 7:20’ as fat-fingerd duplicate contributions from the same South Dacola reader – the first four Replies to this post are from three of those readers?!?!
What are the chances.
As for me and my house, we shall vote for Paul!!!!
As for my house, we will vote for anybody except Emperor Tenhaken!!! This is the same guy who asked the governor to mandate a shutdown so he did not have to take responsibility. He is also the same guy who tried to force a mandate, but backed off and then backed back on. In a crisis he panicked. He then essentially forced businesses to voluntarily shut down for no reason by bringing about pressure. I will look for a leader.
I hope he gets the panhandling under control. Crime has increased under his leadership.
Heard a very interesting rumor of a serious challenger prompted him to make the announcement…stay tuned
