Comments: So Concilman Josh Schafer decided to do a survey to prove that only democrats are against the riverfront district zoning change in order to build luxury apartments for wealthy people while robbing the middle class and poor. By his argument the local republicans are just like the folks at the state and federal government and are all in favor of ripping of the middle class and poor so rich folks dont have to pay their fair share. So is it true? ARE ALL THE LOCAL GOP IN FAVOR OF STEALING FROM THE POOR TO GIVE TO THE RICH? I honestly dont think thats the case but Bob keeps preaching only dems are against it so therefore- that means all you red people are in favor of helping the rich get richer even if it means the poor get poorer. Doesn't make sense to me after watching long term republicans like Doc and Bob Canida and Skilllman's stand up and be counted against. And what matters most is that republicans aren't lining up to speak in favor at meetings or sitting at tables with other people declaring their support either. In fact I haven't heard a single upstanding republican besides the mayors usually arsekissers, buddy and wife speak up to support him. In fact the usual arse kissers have dropped big time in number. All I hear is that Bob is ruining it for his local fellow republicans and he needs to stop lying.
Also a nice lady explained why the survey is scam. Go ahead and fill it out if you want but its not going to matter one way or the other.

Comments: Thats it about Bob. He can change our way of life on the East End of Madison. I'm not like Richard Ice and the others who will get my riverview blocked. But it is going to change many things. My family has lived in this area of downtown since 1865. In his mind, because his vision of the town is so superior to mine. I'm supposed to just accept it. Then when I come on this site and take shots to protect mine and the neighbors way of life. I'm just a horrible person. It is ok for him to quid pro quo people on his boards to get his way. It's ok to phony up a grant. It's ok to just lie about everything about the project. We are just supposed to lie down and take it. I'm sorry folks. I'm not going to take it without a fight. The Mayor is such a crybaby. Keep on crying Bob because it's not helping you one bit. It just shows how weak you really are.

Comments: The idea that "there is a local housing shortage" can be true or false depending on what you're referring to — the location, price range, type of housing, or even who is affected.

Comments: Is anybody tired of the mayor’s never ending whining and complaining that people are mean to him because they disagree with his bullhockey approach to citizens. The man claims people are hurling insults whenever they point out he‘s being dishonest or in many cases recently just being wrong about things. I’m so tired of his playing the poor little victim. I mean I get it , we all do , poor little Walnut Street kid, alcoholic, crazy daughter, disgraced son and mean wife but if you’re mayor, you at least get a decent pay and free gas and car. So why all the whining like a little boy that scrapped his knee. I mean people are telling the truth and I get the truth hurts but does be have to go all out posting how pitiful and beat down he is?

Comments: I was just thinking about that the other day. Wonder how much money Mayor Bobby gave Mr. Schipper for that spin. Let's get another station here at the next city council meeting to see how we actually feel.

Comments: The segment on the Louisville TV station regarding the proposed riverfront development makes the Mayor look reasonable and the town folks as backwards. No mention site is in floodplain or subsiding luxury apartments with tax dollars. Need better spokes person than the two interviewed.

Comments: Thanks for the information Warren. Readers of this forum need to remember the Mayor was running around just a few weeks ago saying "We just need more affordable housing in Madison." This was his go to excuse for doing this project. Now he is looking for subsidized housing for the rich. Talk about playing loose with the facts Mr. Mayor.

Comments: The Mayor got up on stage an addressed the crowd at the Unbroken Music Festival. Boy, did the Boo Birds come out to show what they thought of our Mayor. It was quite embarrassing for the Madison Mayor. The out of town people next to me asked why. Somebody walking in front of us shouted "because he is a * * *." I didn't need to say anymore, nuff said.
