Sparks was a a&% hat! Very big part of the good ole boy club. Breeden was a officer in the military with a 100 million plus budget he oversaw. That is very valuable experience that I hope you are not knocking. He also had a business degree. Run for Office is a idea except for my family, which comes before community, I am not staying in this town. I think it is almost to late now that all the other communities have beat us to everything and the mill and now suncoke are making the town even worse with more pollution that they promised not to do. I have a son with asthma and this town is not good for that. If I were single and no kids I would very much consider running for alderman. MY career and salary is to good to give up for mayor's office. But if the people who have the time and love for this town would listen to me and others like me, then the good ole boy system could be destroyed. Unfortunately to many people are closed minded and blinded thinking ED is a great guy doing so much even though the town is crumbling around them. I believe in making sacrifices for the betterment of people and community, but not over my family. Family is always first and I have to do what is best for them.
