Thursday I will forward to City Council the proposal from the former Ogdensburg manager to help give structure to the Council's search for a new manager in Watertown.
John Krol outlined the issues in such a search at a meeting with on Tuesday and promised to prepare a more formal outline for Council to ponder.
I sent an email to the Kellie Greene campaign today formally offering her a guest spot on an entire HOTLINE show next week.
I noticed on her FACEBOOK page a photo of her with Maricopa (AZ) County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. There were also pictures of her at the recent Chili Cook Off in Watertown. I would lose the AZ references as while rubbing shoulder with big pols there is interesting, it also allows the carpetbagger charge to flourish.
An interesting function of human nature is that crows and not taxes, spending or managers, seems to be the issue that is capturing the public's attention.
On radio, that's what the calls are about and in person I get more comments on crows than anything. Like every upstate city, efforts have been focused on hazing, but the public fascination with crows may explain why 'hang 'em high' rhetoric has some traction.

On air you said people look to govt to solve all their problems because that's how they've been raised.
I contend that the nanny state has created that mentality and that the individual(s) can and would solve the crow crisis on their own if allowed.
If the govt is unable or unwilling to do the job, stand aside and let us take care of it.
Btw, the Crow Cannon idea won't work because neighbors will complain.
Why can't the city make a deal with Sherf Burns to have prisoners clean up after the crows?
Getting the crows away from downtown has always been an easy task. Ask for public help in buying plastic owls. Hell I will buy one. I have one. Put them in the trees. The crows fear owls. They will fly away. I have one up front by the walk. The crows fly over and run back all the time to the old dump. Thousands of crows sit just a few feet from a plastic owl and crow at it. It works. Ask for them today on the hotline. You can have the one I have.
Joe Arpio is the guy that tries to make life as miserable for inmates as he can legally do. One problem I have with that is that some of these inmates are not guilty or convicted of anything but are instead awaiting trial. Unless you believe everyone charged with a crime is guilty because cops never lie.
Maybe she can get her picture taken at Guantanamo for her next facebook pix. That way she can show she isn't a moderate like Doheny.
