in NO FEDERAL MONEY FOR BREAKWATER THIS YEAR | The District Weekly on The District Weekly
How is January 2009 an election year...maybe if you said Oct. 09, which would be the start of 2010 elections, but January 2009 is dead then.

James,
In her first election, the Firefighters stuck with Webb and the Police went with Rae. She still holds a grudge against them for that.

in CHAMBER’S GORDON LOSES ELLIS RECALL BID–BUT STILL ‘THE MAYOR’ | The District Weekly on The District Weekly
Dave,
You were in Mexico too long to understand this in a big picture sense. The Chamber has always been a loser until 2007, with many losses, and most always thought that a Chamber endorsment was the kiss of death. They were contunally defeated until the unions had other things to do than support the policies monetarily. This "win" was a lucky draw for the chamber, as all Chamber insiders were girding for a loss with labor peace agreement and the wal-mart deal. Just ask anybody on the inside of the Chamber how confident they were before Schipske pulled her vote.
As for Ellis, this is not a loss for Gordon. They have lost before, but they pound it into the ground until they can't go anymore, then they spin it into a win. No, this was a calculated win for them. The only reason why the Chamber came out on top in the School Board elections is because MIchael Ellis is on the Board.
WIthout Michael Ellis, TALB is stronger. On the board, TALB is weak and split. The Chamber needs Michael Ellis.
I like you Dave, but trust someone who has been around, this was a calculated decision. The day before the election, the Chamber was still ready to pump money intogetting signatures. They need, and want Ellis on the board.
