I know, I know, I know. I have completely failed in all my predictions about Huether’s future. I truly believe though that he did want to run for governor, but I think he did some internal polling on support ($$$) and saw there wasn’t a lot out there for him. I also think the siding settlement LIE has caused the public to lose all trust in him. While he may deny he lied or that people don’t trust him, I think he knows deep down inside that losing in Supreme Court didn’t look good.
So what will he really be doing?
Sure, he will probably take a few weeks off for a little R & R, but he will be right back at it as soon as he can, guaranteed.
I suggested a few months ago there has always been a Plan B, while I don’t know the deets of that plan, I do know this;
He encouraged Jim Entenman to run for mayor, not only to continue the developer boondoggle on the city, but to open up an opportunity for Huether to run in 4 years, or sooner. While he hasn’t ‘endorsed’ anyone, it is NO secret that Jim and Mike are good friends. As I understand it, Mike officiated Jim’s daughter’s wedding last year.
Jim barely showed up to meetings when he was a ONE-TERM city councilor, spending a entire month in Mexico each winter. I really don’t think Jim wants the job or wants to do it for 4 years. He simply wants to reap the insider information the mayor has on development deals.
I think Entenman will either resign in 2 years (he’ll have some strange family reason) which would open up a special election for mayor and put Huether in the running, OR he will appoint Huether as his Chief of Staff and just have him continue to run the city.
This of course means Entenman would have to win Mayor, a scary, dreadful scenario. It would be bad enough as Entenman as Mayor, imagine Entenman and Huether running the city together as a team?
I think this LETTER would tell us what kind of TEAM that would be;
If his (Huether’s) administration knew and didn’t reveal to the citizens what they knew, that’s corruption. If they didn’t know, that’s incompetence.
Oh, I think it was a little bit of both.
