Interesting... but if Hunt succeeds this could spell disaster for MAPS 3.

Will Hunt sponsor a take an activist to work day if he is elected?

No worry. first, I doubt this man can beat Mick (he was elected by the widest margin in city history), and second, the VOTERS approved the projects. The only way they can be changed is another vote of the PEOPLE.

Hmm, but due to the wording of MAPS 3, he *could* use the money for pretty much anything as long as he and the council call it a city improvement. Unless an oversight committee with some veto power is enabled, that is.

As is the case with 99.9% of your postings, WRONG

I'm sorry, but maybe you'll need to clarify your statement.. I'm reading the MAPS 3 literature right now and I see nothing that guarantees any of the projects.

I'm not trying to argue the MAPS 3 decision.. It passed. I couldn't vote on it anyway so the vote's not really anything I care about. I just see that a change in leadership can potentially change the direction of MAPS 3 unless measures are put in place to lock down the money.

Nope, we have a weak mayoral system, his vote counts just as one city council person's vote, so he'd have to do a heck of a job convincing the other city council persons. #fail

"filed for the mayor’s race Friday, the last day filing was open for the election"

The fact he waited until the last day to toss his hat in should raise questions right away.

why?

[workman45]

Is Mick going to do any campaigning?

[Midtowner]

I don't think a Taco Bell employee really has a serious shot at being mayor. I mean Gary Coleman ran for the job of Governor of California... this is a lot like that. A joke.

[hoya]

Sure he'll do campaigning. He'll have commercials that say "I'm Mayor Mick Cornett." And then he'll smile. And then it'll show Kevin Durant jam a basketball.

He's going to roll this guy.

All I have to do is call the DOK and give them some of the PMs he sent me here and his campaign is over before it starts. Or pass along half of his posts here. Or tell them to take a look at his blog.......

You could use them as content for a new blog. Some suggested titles:
Activism to Go, Please Pay at Second Window
A Hunt for Reason
Hunt Stunts
Hunting - Bullets Sans Weapon

Ok, back to da snow cave for me before the bunnies find me

I remember, he was way out of line. He cannot to be taken seriously.

Wow. I just found his blog. What a nutbar. I think all Cornett has to do is let Hunt speak for himself. "I encourage every voter in the city to find out more about Mr Hunt. Here is a link to his blog. Meanwhile, enjoy these clips of our exciting NBA team." (followed by series of dunks)

No link....try it again...okay?

I would hope that this isnt the only thing he can point to as Achievements of his administration...
As for Hunt, no he wouldnt be a sane choice.
I dont like anyone to take an election for granted...
Such as the Massachusetts US Senate Race, the Democratic State Party, and their candidate assume to have already won...

The problem with Hunt and his fellow activists is that they're not really *for* anything. You have to have a platform of stuff you actually believe in, to run a successful campaign.

Steve Hunt for Mayor:

Sorry, I was eating a pretzel and almost choked.

[Spartan]

Link to his blog?

[blangtang]

hey, at least there is a choice! 'Mericans love choices when it comes to elections!

[Steve]

Foshee is gunning back for his old seat? For real?

Anti Maps "let's do nothing" crowd just won't give it up.

They seem to put plenty of energy into taking positions that would force everyone to "do nothing."
