I don't think better or worse of Pugh. With this economy, everyones money is funny. I don't plan on voting for him mainly because I think it would be ludicrous to have a first termer be council president. I plan to plunk my vote. Ken Crockrel and Kwame Kenyatta. Kenyatta recently took a walk from his home. He survived the fall out. Barrow, as mayor, is a person of interest too. Bing has not impressed me so far. I am just tired of the good old boys club be they white or black.

I live in EEV and a newish neighbor said their taxes were $7500 a year. That is just plain nuts. We are tax protected and I think our taxes are too high for services rendered. I love my city and my neighborhood but property taxes need to fall in line. A very nice colonial near here is going for $13,000 dollars. If taxes are that high its no deal at all.
