I'm sure that most of the 37 people are old buddies with Willie. I would like to run for the position of director of the library. That has to be the easiest job in the world, especially since the concept of a library is outdated and most likely only used by people who want to use the internet.

Start with firing Janet Hooks, LaSonya Hall and anyone else who has been blowing a smokescreen to cover up all the abuse and neglect going on at MAS.

Time to put a top to all this high living in this city--Replace them all. Many in this city are qualified and will work for 1/3 of these high paying jobs and I might add, would do a better job too.
