Reader Kate Martin responds to Pro-McGinn Blogs Take the Abandonment of His Main Campaign Pledge in Stride. If you were wondering, she won’t be voting for Mike the Bike.”Mike has the temperament and aptitude of a litigator and lobbyist and he should stay in that area if there’s still paychecks out there for that. The rest of us do it on top of our day jobs. Mike is myopic and obsessive and not even for one moment in the dozen or so years I worked with him did he ever really have a vision, just an issue. His bubble just popped and a few years late. Our priorities as a city need to morph along with reality and not against it. He never helped us environmentally in Greenwood when we could have really used him and when there was ample opportunity to do so economically and otherwise. Ironically, he’s unemployed and still somehow can forget that jobs, business and paychecks are actually pretty important on that needs pyramid we all studied back when..especially so for a city. Mike simply has not been able to adjust his priorities. Never has.”
