" Seriously Now- Instead of Person Of The Year we picked Weber. Who we spent $15.9 million moving property owners and municipal services around like monopoly. Subsidized full service restaurants instead of a "cafe". Where this direction broke the camels back and an outstanding responsible businessman on the Redevelopment Authority resigned in disgust. $3500 per employee incentive money with no 'employee report' turned in months later, and still no living wage information whatsoever. RDAs, TNDs being misused as covert vehicles for land that is not near being blighted. $1.4 million help to one entity for parking ramps after recently giving 800 guaranteed spaces away in another contract? What a movie, Spender is right on! Need more? "become famous", GMAB! "

" I think they should make a movie about a city that decides to rebuild a road, that's doesn't need fixing. Then when it rains, the road washes out and the city doesn't want to pay for it all. Then they close the road for good and make it a hiking trail. Have you ever seen a multi-million dollar hiking trail? Playing the mayor is Charlie Brown. "

" Big Spender is heading for a big fall if he/she thinks that the Trib is going to keep allowing this forum to become a personal soapbox. All it takes is one click by the webmaster and you're history. Keep on blowing hot air and watch what happens. And it's not a matter of free speech. It's a matter of somebody trying to become famous in the wrong venue. Go volunteer somewhere and do something great in 08. Then perhaps YOU will be on this person of the year list next year. Better than spewing bilge that nobody takes seriously here. "

" How about a movie called "the rise and fall of lacrosse" it could be about a city that taxed its tax-payers out of there houses!!! "

" I didn't wan't all y'all ta know, but I, Big Spender, have an idea for a movie, The Magnificent Bloggers! As corrupt city fathers tax poor sharecroppers out of their homes, local web bloggers (seven in all and led by yours truly, Big Spender), drive these evil carpetbagging baddies out by TPing City Hall (you wouldn't think TP would do the trick but this is used TP). As the leading man, I've decided to shave my head so's ta look like Yul Brynner. "
