Jeff Carr was the most dangerous, insidious manager this City has seen in decades. He should be thrown in jail for his full-cost recovery theft of charter-mandated tax dollars to libraries and parks. The social injustice is astonishing! In all honesty, I don't know how this so-called "man of god" can even sleep at night.
WELL THE MAYOR LOVES TO SURROUND HIMSELF WITH HELP, LIKE A MOAT AND THE CASTLE. THIS WAY HE CAN BLAME OR CHANGE WHO'S THERE IF THERE'S A PROBLEM,THE GREAT INSOLATOR. THE MAYOR NEVER HAD ANY REAL IDEAS OF HIS OWN ALL OF HIS IDEAS CAME FROM SOMEONE ELSE. GREAT WAY TO FOOL THE PEOPLE, 80% FELL FOR IT. WHO'S TO BLAME THE PUBLIC WHO VOTED AND SUPPORTED HIM OR THE MAYOR WHO DOES WHAT HE DOES!!!
