WHEREVER THERE ARE ILLEGAL SIGNS...

...Mark McGrath will be there!

The Mark McGrath sign rage story is low-hanging fruit. It still tastes sweet. The former and would-be-again District 2 Councilman was fed up with illegally placed political signs. So much so that he took the law into his own hands. McGrath said he had every right to take the Wiltshire sign down. Which, of course, is not true. McGrath actually had no right to take the sign down. Still, one can understand the seething rage engendered by such brazen flaunting of the law. What's next? Gangs? Shootings?

McGrath isn't wrong about the Wiltshire campaign, however. We do see signs on public property and the vast majority of them are Wiltshire signs. Strange, though, that this is what stirs McGrath's inner Batman.

For instance, back in the day, McGrath was oddly silent when Mayor Tutunjian used Troy Code Enforcement to punish people for criticizing his administration. The most notable incident involved Jim deSeve.  The Mayor of Troy, using government to punish dissent. Where was McGrath? No doubt keeping the land safe from signs.

Thankfully Mark will soon be back on the City Council. He'll have plenty of opportunity to showcase his trademark jack-assery.

See you at Thursday's debate.

Wiltshire is no better. His signs are all over public property and he denies knowing who did it. Just like he denies being behind the efforts to 86 Everett's campaign. What's next? Maybe he'll deny missing the last two budget votes.

Mark is the sort of jackass that gives the rest of us jackasses a bad name. Wiltshire a close second.

Please call upon Jim Gordon to release the 911 tape.

Harry is worming his way in to the Gordon campaign and don't think for a minute he's not gunning for a job. He needs one after all. They're talking Mark W. for Deputy Mayor but you know Harry's looking for a paycheck because he can't survive in the private sector.

Gordon may even need Harry. He'll be in so far over his little head that he'll grab on to any life preserver.

Rodney and Robert Cox working together? Does ANYONE in this city really consider Rodney as a legit candidate? Outside of Robert that is.

Rodney is a legit candidate in the sense that if he can get his people to the polls on primary day and win, he'll clean Gordo's clock. Whether he's up to the job is another matter.

I'm not sure any of them are up to the job, to tell you the truth.

Tutunjian, Crawley, Mirch, Mitchell were thugs. If Gordon is listening to any of them he's asking for trouble.
