It appears that SCOTT ROBOT was down in the cellar
with the other sniveling rats all during the debt-building years,
and years, and years, and years
that passed during the Winnecke Administration.
I smell a rat that got out of the cellar. Hi Scott!!
Great read. We can blame Mayor Terry for current financial crisis the city is facing, however, no one held the Winnecke Administration accountable for 12 years. Ba complete and total misconduct by that administration. From the financial crisis to covering up a sexual harassment complaint because it might interfere with the election. A complete disaster by that administration with no accountability. Shameful
