Why does Bing keep announcing things he doesn't have authority to implement?

When I hear people say things like "at least he's not shady" I wonder if they remember him ducking process servers at the City County building shortly after being elected.

"At least he's not shady" wasn't exactly a ringing endorsement, it's just pointing out that at least we won't see him in prison like Kwame was, or under constant federal investigation like Coleman Young was.

I think this is just plain shameful, on both sides. It's exactly crap like this why I get tired of living here and paying taxes.

My point was that even that less than ringing endorsement isn't true. He's certainly shady.

OK...at least he's not a felon?

:-) That will probably be his campaign slogan if he runs again.

All the vitriol tossed city council's way, it's Mayor Bing who gets his leash pulled!

Maybe he really isn't arrogant, he's just stupid?

It looks like he also prematurely revealed his/Snyder/Orr's union torturing ways.

Dave Bing is such a lawnjockey. The old man just needs to go away.

That's funny.
