This ought to play well in the cul-de-sacs.
Radomski hits the nail on the head here: “What I’m really interested in not only as a citizen, especially with the job losses and what’s going on in Madison, are ideas,” he says. “Where are the ideas? I’m serious. I don’t care if there are disagreements or agreements. What I care about is where are the ideas? What’s the vision for our city?”
And Dave ran on ideas. Every one of which he forgot after a couple of years in office. He now takes his cues from Soglin on how best to screw the idealists in this city (you know, the ones with the ideas that set this city apart from, say, Rockford): “Paul Soglin once told me something that I carry with me: If you’re going to do this job, you’re going to have to say no to your friends. I really think that’s true.”
Apparently he forgot that there was a reason we didn’t elect Soglin.
Damn zombie pols just keep coming, and coming, and coming!
