Well, that is what my exploding phone told me today (it’s not Hungarian 🙂 the phone . . .
President of DTSF, Joe Batcheller announced today he was stepping down in December for personal professional development. The rumor is he is running for mayor.
I am relieved to hear this. I was a bit worried we were going to have the same slate of grifters running for mayor. Joe, as an urban planner, would be an excellent candidate and would make a fantastic mayor. I know the last few convos we have had about city issues told me he wasn’t going to be warming the seat at DTSF for much longer. Good for him, surprised he lasted this long.
If you are NOT running for mayor Joe, I apologize for the rumor mill, but I blame you for the burned hole in my pocket, because half the town seems to think you are running, and if not, YOU SHOULD! (I also like that he is not very good at keeping a secret. WOOT! WOOT! Open government baby!!!!)
BROCKHOUSE PETITION DRIVE
I was told today that Mike Zitterich is heading up a petition drive to save the Brockhouse Dusty Monkey collection. I wish him luck. I will post the petition once it is certified and circulated. I encourage people to sign it, even if you are opposed to keeping the collection. Let the people of this city decide if they value it not some anti-science pumpkin recycling administration.
RIVERLINE STACKED DECK
Oh the things I could say about this committee. So laughable. Why didn’t they just make up some AI characters and have them on the committee? Probably more trustworthy. They should call the committee the ‘Grifters Social Club’. And who let former city councilor Rick Kiley out of his cage (or should I say wet paper bag)?
“Okay, so far we have Beck, this Downtown guy, Huether, probably David Z. again, and what about that guy who plays the air guitar at 41st and Louise while wearing flip-flops in early March?”….. #DraftTheresa
Platform can be ‘Replace Strong Mayor Charter’. It’s authoritarian and not democracy. Unwarranted deceptive unregulated spending without a vote or checks and balances. Civil rights abuse denying due process appeals and arresting individuals without charges.
We had Huether and Trump simultaneously for a year and a half from January 2017 until May 2018. Now, with the soon return of Trump, we could also get Huether and Trump again for 2 and a half years, or maybe longer? That is if Huether suspends the charter in a true Trump manner. #TheyAreBack! #Bigger&BadderThanEver
did he run this by matt paulson?
Okay, so should I be worried that it is constantly in the 70s and 80s with no rain throughout September and now October, or is Trump going to fix all of this? #MadMaxE-bikers
A downtown president sounds rather urban. But what about a residential president, would that be too coincidental or maybe too accidental? AND, then there’s Downtown Julie Brown. I miss the old MTV days, by the way, with it’s Appollo astronaut commercials, but then there was this one embarrassing moment:

Would a downtown mayor, however, mean more ‘Burger Battles’ or less? Would a downtown mayor further illustrate the ‘Tale of Two Cities’? Or, are more burgers a way to bring us together? Because, we know in the more residential areas, their sports bar burgers are all the rave…. Thus, maybe we will just have to have more faith in Petula Clark, or would that be Clueless and Lark and a journey which takes some somewhere, while others are left behind in hopes of “Someday”?….:
