Aint any wonder why there's so much apathy. Vote them out? Only to be replaced by more of the same. People have to take responsibilty for their own lives and stop waiting for the next political savior. Shay is part of the same system that allows no accountability and let's political manuvering supercede ethics and serving the will of the people. We need public funded elections to take $$ out of the process.

Koller has plenty of dirty laundry, he is not "squeaky clean" and so does mayor carvalho and Al Castillo's dirty laundry could fill Vidinha Stadium. But none of that gets any attention. <br /><br />Post after ranting post is about the prosecutors, and sorry but the last thing I want is that little kid that looks and SOUNDS like Pee-Wee Herman becoming our next prosecutor. Do you know what would happen if EVERYONE in the government was Mayor Carvalho's Yes-Man? He's already got the county attorney, the planning director, and he had the police commission and police chief until he screwed it up. No thanks.
