But I started to seriously question his agenda when he enabled the white elephant downtown arts center to crawl out of its own grave.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640358.post-37769453553046997622008-10-20T20:30:00.000-04:002008-10-20T20:30:00.000-04:00Mr. Wilder is a sick joke on the body politic of R...Mr. Wilder is a sick joke on the body politic of Richmond. He blew a golden opportunity. The Mayor needs to be a consensus builder, diplomat and team player. Mr, Wilder is a power thirsty, power drunk bully, egomaniac and grandstanding super star. His departure cannot come soon enough.<BR/>Preston M. YancyPreston M.

For the most part, what I've heard from the candidates is criticism of Wilder's style of leadership much more than negative things about the City of Richmond, itself.<BR/><BR/>But politics is not about cheerleading. It's about solving problems using the taxpayers money.<BR/><BR/>Wilder's piece in the newspaper was petty and self-serving. The RT-D shouldn't have published it as commentary. It should have been a letter to the editor.F.T.

Your posts are disappointingly usually similar to the negative attitude found in the campaign. Too bad because this city is an even greater place if we found ways to make it better rather than harp on the negative so constantly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
