you mean his needs and his Idols needs. This city will not be better off with him or his headhunters.
Where are the jobs Bach??
WE need JOBS , JOBS, JOBS
Can you do that ???
Lilithia
Mayor Bach sounds perfectly reasonable to me. This is what we elected him to do.
Where are the jobs? Didn’t you hear Obama say that his stimulus spending found fewer shovel ready jobs than he thought?
You want jobs? Approve those oil & gas drilling permits, that will generate jobs. Tell Council to get off their duffs and do it.
What we don’t need is more of the same Progressive agenda, deficit spending and unsustainable pension commitments. What you see here is a Mayor doing the right things, asking the right questions, and pushing his employees to innovate to improve efficiencies. What you see here is a lot of really good stuff.
Can we Say Steve COX, Bach made a postion for him, really He too is a joke.
Lilithia
Oh and by the way I did not Vote for Bach.
