I'm a little more optimistic than I was a few years ago Joe. I think Parkinson is on the right track.

Now, I will qualify with the following:
If the Steel Mill completely folds, we are in trouble.
If Gateway turns into Mental Health Central, we're doomed.
If Joe is elected for another term, I fear for small businesses.

I'm too old now to pick up stakes but by the grace of the Good Lord, we're in great financial shape and the worst thing that happens is my two kids get a smaller inheritance from the sale of our paid off house. They should be okay with the current stock portfolio but as we all know, that can change in a heartbeat.

So good luck mayor. I hope you get 4 more. I hope I get at least that many to see if I was right about you.
