If the city council thinks that it has stopped me or charly from running their nuts, if I have to get the signatures you will be able to find me at City Hall camped out until I get the signatures needed… Brian Freeborn did not have to go out and get any.. so I figure I’d let you decide and let the council know at the same time how you feel by letting you sign in front of them… so if I have to get signatures come out starting 6pm Friday beep your horn and sign my pitition… and remember if you want liers, cheats, thieve… etc… then DON’T VOTE FOR ME… but at least get out and VOTE…

I went to the board of elections on Friday to file to run for city council. I was told that I cannot run for city council because I am not a Republican or Democrat.

If the referendum petition is validated by July 30th, SBOE or a superior court judge will set a new date for all candidates to file.
