Now it’s on to the November 2 election when voters have a chance to change the city charter, allowing the commission to either approve or nix hiring of any department heads. (Speaking of department heads, Commissioner Brian “The Brain” Beasly and I finally agree on something: He and Commissioner Velma Palmer both voted against the charter change). Now our Mayor is a sort of brainiac himself. A likeable enough guy, he’s a professor, scientist, and biologist holding a PhD.

So, folks, remember that elected officials who can’t ‘get enough’ always want more of that elusive respect and power they so desperately seek. They’d be much better off taking a cue from the old refrain: “Looking for love in all the wrong places.”
