Saw Saint Pauls Mayor Coleman on CSPAN this morning... "Hey Mayor Coleman, you are doing the best job possible with what you have to work with. Good job! Thank you. And its nice to see you are a real person. I've been wondering where you've been."
Saw Chief Harrington on CSPAN this morning... "I can only imagine how hard his job is, given that he has to work with what the Mayor can allocate to his department.
