Re: “That’s exactly what’s wrong with this town.”
Exactly. Later in his speech, O’Neill had this to say: “You’ll probably notice that my resume does not include any elected office or work on any political campaigns. I am not a member of the so-called political class. I believe that I can contribute a viewpoint that is unique because I would enter the city council as simply a citizen.”
Bullshit. Lack of experience in politics is not a qualification for serving in politics.
Why do these mental patients think the Council is a forum for "contributing a viewpoint"? Members are charged with running the goddamn city. Where are all the political hacks who actually know how to do stuff?
