Notable Quotes (3)
The biggest lesson I learned in working for the citizens of East Bethl... is the truism that potholes don't have politics.
I think we should look into purchasing the properties that attached to this one... and start bringing revenue into our city.
If you get a bad reputation, you can't overcome that... Drama in city hall doesn't help anybody.
