Josh Laubach.......Impressive!

I just finished watching the debate.

I'm very impressed with Josh Laubach, in my opinion he's the best man running, (out of all the candidates, not just 3rd ward).

I won't just be voting for the lesser of two evils (as usual), I'll be voting for someone I'm happy to support!




Keep up the good work Laubach!

Tudor- Thought Laubach got off to a shaky start (as did several), probably due to nerves. The one minute answering time didn't help any of the candidates nor the voters. I thought that was very poorly planned by the forum organizers. As time went on, Laubach seemed to do a bit better. Just needs more time, as anyone would, to get comfortable in that council chair. Marconi's/ Armbruster's claim about experience rings faint as they started "with no experience" in a councilperson role too. Everyone starts from ground zero. Problem with Marconi and Armbruster is that they never used their "experience", as they claim, to provide meaningful progressive leadership for the community. Both became "mis-focused" on the real issues and accomplished little to nothing- especially Armbruster. Mercy! Bottom line for me- I'm willing to give anyone new a chance because I already know what I'm getting with the incumbants and I don't like what I see from them. They're not good for this city. None of them.

Picard- very robotic and polished. Gave the same answers to many of the questions- ie- city is out of money- only can do a limited amount of things- bad economy right now- must be prepared to prosper when the recession is over- thank you Mr. Obvious. I don't know the guy, but his demeanor would fit right in with the MMF crowd. Seems aloof, and gives the impression he is "above the fray" and not connected with the working middle class of this town. If elected, I don't think he will be any different than what we have now and that's a bad thing. I wouldn't vote for him- don't trust him. He'll just be another Schiavone for the 4th Ward people and, from what I hear, that's not a good thing.- He gives the impression he would support the current city /MMF agenda - not the people's needs. Might be bad for the city also. Dunno. JMO

Armbruster and Marconi BOTH used the old "Don't try to tell me that we didn't do anything!" line.  Then they reeled off Pay-Chex, this-Tec, that-Tec, etc., etc., all adding up to over 500 new jobs!!!
