"providing more transparency and increased accountability in state government".

Certainly has not been what she was supporting for the past several years.

Cariddi didn't seem to have a problem with absolutley NO transparency for the last 21 years as she sat at the right hand of the dictator. Gail is a self serving unemployable has been. No need to elect someone like her to anything. She will be nothing more than another pawn in the house.

I agree. She did not fight for transparency AT ALL for 20 years as a councilor. She watched and participated in this city being run in a completely opaque manner.

No way.

I don't buy it.

Thank you Keith for your thoughts. What was the show you put on the other night at the council called, "Protecting Me" by Keith Bona.

How's this for transparency, Gail. You publicly opposed business permits for two businesses in the past two years - and both of them had previously been tenants in your rundown mill building. When they wanted to leave for better locations and buildings, you ridiculed them and claimed they shouldn't be granted their permits. Why? Because they had the nerve to leave your building, and when they were in your building, you never sought a permit for either one of them, which is in violation of city code.

Seriously, pal, I'm not Bona. If you've been paying attention... he actually posts with his own name on these boards.

Why the vitriol towards Bona anyway? Cause he runs for office (and wins) so that he can be a part of the city (instead of just bitching about it)? Or is it because he actually runs (successful) businesses on Main St (instead of just bitching about the lack of businesses there)?

Oh wait, I forgot... you don't like him 'cause he "looks stupid".

Go get 'em , tiger. You are obviously a keeper.

Gaillanne please stop your campaign you are going to embarrass yourself. Come on transparency, remember riding in circles in your convertible holding a Barrett Sign on the friday before the election. That move itself says you are not for transperency and are onl;y jumping on the bandwagon after it failed you and your dictator leader that you loved som much. There's was no transperency with barrett that you ever called for a change.....so why now Gailanne? Pack up you are not gonna win, you will never win again.

I find it interesting that she would use a photo of an enviromental clean up on her own property as a campaign photo op. That piece of machinery is still on site and hasn't moved in years. And we're still waiting for your concession call from your loss for registrar of deeds.

Is there a campaign going on. This is a quiet election. I'll be surprised if 20% go vote.

No she won't be 'another pawn in the house'---she won't get in the door---transparency---yes you can see right through her-....by the people, for the people, and especially for Gailanne! She won't even carry her hometown---and why should she--her mentor has been kicked out of office--no support there--has 'Sheriff BOZ' endorsed her? He doesn't want to back another loser---Transparency--yea right--and her car was painted with an invisible coating while parked next to JB 3's at City Hall every week-end for years. Yes Gailanne , we do need more transparency and less hiding the truth---what were your weekly private meetings with your old boss all about anyway---Mayor's Training Classes----"Do what I say and you could be king/queen of the city."
