Will Roger Patton answer why the Mayor and a prominent downtown business owner implicated him in the vandalism of the BID director's car?

Krivos signed the recall for Governor Walker.
That should be a sign of how he will govern. I also don't think that will sit well with the voters in District 12 who as a whole are pretty conservative

Aldermanic positions are non-partisan and should remain so. Our local elected officials are elected to represent what their voters want, NOT THEIR PERSONAL POLITICAL VIEWS. Whether any one did or did not sign the recall is their own personal views and has nothing to do with being an alderman. The problem with people like the "sha guy" is that type of attitude does nothing but further divide our city instead of putting these personal political views aside and working together to get something accomplished.

I completely agree with the 'sha guy, and think its a great bit of information to know about one's personal beliefs for an elected position. Especially in District 12. I know it has had an influence in past elections as well.

Everything the Sha' Guy said is true. It's one thing vote for either side, it's another thing to sign the petition which is made public. It is not partisan but it is a show of support for a way of dealing with a budget gap. I don't believe in taxing more or laying off workers to fill a gap created by government spending more than they have. I'm confident most will agree with that, the ideology is not a republican one it's conservative common sense open for anyone to stand behind.

How exactly do you separate one's personal political views from the representative political views?
