Let's go Sharon !
ReplyDeleteJust what we need, an ex-mayor who many believe proved her ineptitude for eight years on the City Council. Considering how hard her cronies on the City Council worked to keep Plainfield stagnant for the past three years, I'm not sure I trust her to do differently and keep Plainfield's interests ahead of personal interests, especially for someone who may want to be mayor again.
ReplyDeleteSharon doesn’t stand a snowball chance in hell, 3rd ward would be crazy to vote her in. You got this Charles!
ReplyDeleteLet's go Charles! :)
