During that period there was a lot of chaos. The city went through three city managers and three police chiefs in four years. Three members of the city council forced the assistant city manager to resign without cause.

It was a revolving door of city managers and police chiefs. I was asked to run in 1997 and I won by running at large. I assume the electorate wanted me back on council.

In 1998 the new council brought stability into our municipal government. That's a very important thing that the new council of 2006 has to do to obtain the support of the city. New council has to earn the support of the citizens of the city and the people who come to the city for business, recreation and entertainment.

It threw me about 12 feet into a wall, ... It was total chaos ... the floor was falling. The ceiling was falling.
