You won't get any argument from me.

Actually she didn't. She lost the Mayor position to Don Saylor. Sue became mayor by finishing first in 2004, Ruth became mayor by finishing first in 2006, Saylor by finishing first in 2008.

Sue has some issues.

I wouldn't vote for Greenwald regardless of her views; the fact that anyone that hostile and rude can get into a government position is incredibly disturbing. Same goes for Asmundson, albeit to a lesser extent.

is there any possible way you can bring to light all the mistakes ruth has made. she's the one we should be attacking. on the other hand sue really needs to find a way to communicate without being so discombobulated and wordy. she needs to write stuff down and practice speaking quick and to the point. if she can fix this issue she will be a much more effective leader.

David, regardless, Ruth is rude and inconsiderate and doesn't give a damn about the people of Davis. That's why she cuts her off so much. it's ridiculous. This is why the ppl keep voting for Sue. Ruth needs to leave her position. she's incompetent, jaded, corrupt and should not be in any public position.

This is a good demonstration of why Mayor Asmundsen got more votes than Sue Greenwald in the last City election. Whether Sue likes it or not, she's lost the mayor position to Asmundesen. Sue should have found another setting for her questions or made a recommendation for further analysis of the costs involved. You gain more by cooperating and listening, rather than ranting your emotions. Sorry, Sue... Ruth called it and you should have let it go. There were other options besides fighting.
