Is KC going to run against Willis this time McGee?
I hope McGee launches another one of his whizzbang campaigns. One thing about small town elections-it brings the kooks out who think they should run the show.

And you're out early at that "Anonym". Why so early, you all excited about the prospects of one of your ilk winning?
Hopefully Mr. McGee will run and win a seat on the city council
Will Gil Gramson be replaced?

Gramson loses he will just insert himself somewhere else in Warrenton City government cause he owns the place doesn't he?

Word History
When one uses ilk, as in the phrase men of his ilk, one is using a word with an ancient pedigree even though the sense of ilk, "kind or sort,” is actually quite recent, having been first recorded at the end of the 18th century. This sense grew out of an older use of ilk in the phrase of that ilk, meaning "of the same place, territorial designation, or name.” This phrase was used chiefly in names of landed families, Guthrie of that ilk meaning "Guthrie of Guthrie.” "Same” is the fundamental meaning of the word. The ancestors of ilk, Old English ilca and Middle English ilke, were common words, usually appearing with such words as the or that, but the word hardly survived the Middle Ages in those uses.
20 years of stalling on the Combined Sewer Outfall and wholesale raising of utility rates whenever CofA wants to will be Van Dusen's final downfall.
Get rid of Benoit. This city has never been so extravagantly mismanaged.
