Wimp? Dan served our Country in the Army, did your candidate serve our country?

I think they should recount and check all registered voters list. I know at my particular resident it took them over 4 elections with me telling them to remove a couple who were dead and the couple who moved out of the area from the voting rolls!! If it were me I would make sure the people who voted were actually alive and still living in said address!

A recount would be a waste of money and time and would purely be a form of harassment and pandering to the angry minority.

I think Dan should take another long walk in the woods with his brother, then he will come to his senses and realize that a recount would be futile.It will do nothing but cost the city money that it can not afford at this time. Sure he may pick up a vote or two, but no way will it swing the election in his favor.What it will do is turn some people against him and put a dirty spot on an other wise nice clean reputation. When push comes to shove I don't think Dan want's to be known as recount Dan or sour grape Dan. At the end of the day, my guess is Mr. Bianchi will not file those recount papers he's to much of a realist for that.

I was and still am a Ruberto supporter. I would have voted for almost anyone over Bianchi. But he and his supporters are in my opinion entitled to a recount with the results so close. Does anyone out there really believe that someone could not have made a mistake? And I hope the results don't change. All this talk about wasting money...anyone have any idea how much we're talking about? If this will be done by city workers who are on the payroll anyway, what costs will the city have? It's not like we're having a special election.

instead of a walk in the woods I would go for a hamburger and a shake at McDonalds - that's more satisfying. The McDonalds Restaurant is always there when you need it. 24 hours a day - 7 days a week.

I don't know, but I'm sure the guy could use an "Appalachian Trail hike" after a long campaign like that.

I think a recount is plausible. Lee finished fourth and Massimiano finished dead last, that is kind of ironic?Recount is in order so just be quiet and let Tired do her job.

There are a lot of people out of work. The city should have some of these poor people count the votes and allow them to make some money doing it. Better yet.....have the owners of SPICE come in and do a recount for FREE....with supervision of course.

If you want to work at the polls during an election, all you've got to do is sign up. They are looking for help. Just do it.

The city did not pay $24 million on any of those things, singularly or combined.

You are entitled to your own opinions, but not to your own facts.

Apparently you have no facts, so you are happy to just make them up.
