As far as I'm concerned, Sandy Weidner is the only candidate running who gives a damn about the people of this city.  Time after time, she stood up to lying John when all the other Common Council members cowered in fear.  If she becomes mayor, I hope she appoints a special counsel to investigate the crimes that lying John has committed against the city.
