About time an accountant turned bar and burger shack owner runs for mayor.
Well, it hasn’t been a big secret that Pat might run, and I actually think he would be one of the stronger candidates;
City Councilor Pat Costello is the latest potential candidate considering a run for mayor in 2010. Costello, who currently is a councilor at large, told me Tuesday where he stands in his decision-making process. “An endeavor of this nature is a big process, and I just want to make sure I have a strong team to help me do it right,” Costello said.
but after I have seen him trying to coverup some information at council meetings and his business partnerships with the SF Storm owner I have changed my mind about how effective Pat would be as a mayor. First off, I am a big opponent of businesses owners who associate themselves professionally with tax evaders. Not sure if Pat knew the details, but guilty by association can kill a political candidate really quick. Just look at Daschle’s perceived association with his wife, nail in his coffin. I also don’t take kindly to elected officials who tolerate or participate in censorship, we have had enough of that crap over the past seven years, it needs to end in 2010.
I also see that Gerald Beninga is probably not running for mayor – Mr. Berate councilor Staggers and citizens at council meetings as much as he can;
Meanwhile, though it’s not official, it is believed that Councilor Gerald Beninga might seek a seat on the Minnehaha County Commission instead.
Good place for Gerald, he’ll fit right in with those back biting brat kids over there. You need to learn to pout and blame others for your mistakes. You also need to learn to talk smack about other elected officials of the opposite political party when they are not around to defend themselves.
