It's not true (that the city has millions available). This is one-time money coming from deferring other programs.

We're taking a little breather but it's nothing to worry about ... the money flows continue to come in.

At that time, Robert comes back in, and Robert is standing in front of me, and he wants his money.

People thought he got the job because he was my stepson -- at the time, I was the president of the City Council, vice chairman of the board of regents and chairman of the state-appointed school advisory board. But I think Eddy?s proved he was more than qualified to do this job. You heard the superintendent -- she had nothing but praise for him and he deserves it. He?s done a bang-up job.

The bids came in $700,000 over budget, ... We were committed to being good stewards of the community's money.

The record is the record. The money helps you amplify that record, but you couldn't run an ad that said crime was down 20 percent if it wasn't.
