Report Inappropriate Comments

wwkvoter, I've been doing some reading of richard corrente's past comments, and found that he spent several weeks leading up to the Democratic primary calling Mayor Solomon and the city council "political insiders" and later accused Mayor Solomon of "buying votes" with the tax increase that the council passed.

And yet he's claiming that the city has reached some kind of solution with the fire union -- when there is still no contract.

This article quotes the new fire chief as saying he's willing to negotiate, and that he understands the union will fight on behalf of their members.

So, there's no "solution" yet, whatever richard corrente says. From what I've seen from his comments over the last month, he'll say the complete opposite in another week or two if he thinks it helps him.

I agree with you, Chief McMichael is making a lot of promises, and has a lot of past missteps to correct. Personally, I wish him luck.
