Happy to see them go

To the Editor:

I am happy to see them all go. The departing city council is just as responsible for a divided city as is the former mayor. If any one of the former council ever runs for office, they will never be elected. The votes that any one of them ever received were for the former mayor and not for them. (coattail votes). In a city where over 52 percent of 16,000 voters boo them out. Now let’s talk about the rest of the residents, who did not like the former mayor or the team who were not able to vote. The street message was get the former mayor out. From the teenager to the senior citizen, whole families from block to block from uptown to midtown and downtown did not like the former mayor or the team. And what the former mayor represented. I did what I could to ouster them. And it worked. Bye.
