With most city employees living outside and at least two senior management living out of county, is it time Council Members and the Mayor live outside ? Since there is a paucity of smart enough people to run the city living here , the same is likely true of elected officials ….Why couldn’t a Dexter resident with interest in city matters be the Mayor.?
This was a question someone ask me today and it got me to thinking, is it time to get over our parochialism?

Is this an impish tongue in cheek commentary intended to trigger your critics?
Hassett: "One of the metrics of shelter costs that I find most interesting is that they're going down pretty rapidly in places like California because everybody is leaving. Even though there are high prices in California, it puts downward pressure on inflation because everybody is leaving the state."
Population of CA:
2023 - 38.9 million
2024 - 39.5 million
2025 - 39.5 million
2026 - 39.5 million
That is a brilliant thought. However your Dexter example is goofy. You’d want to get somebody from Clayton or Sackets. They have consistently shown leadership and good decision-making.
Why don't you run for mayor instead of bitching and whining about day-in and day-out, Jeff?
If it prevents another 20 year Graham type, count me in.
I think the average guy on a barstool at Willies would make better decisions than the city council has made. How many swimming pools does the village have? Golf courses? Is there a zoo?
Like you, 5:21?
Trump’s signing an executive order today creating a “Military Spouse Commission” advisory board that doesn’t change a single law, fund a single program, or put one new benefit in the hands of military families.
And Pete Hegseth’s wife is the chair.
It’s a workaround from our corrupt government to “legitimize” her tagging along on her husband’s official trips while having her travel, lodging, meals, and other expenses reimbursed through the Defense Department’s budget.
Just another fucking scam.
A reporter asked Mike Johnson at a press conference today, “Should we bother asking you any questions about Max Miller, Trump’s latest Iran deal, or his Capital One scandal, or have you not heard about any of them yet?"
Those aren't the numbers from the census bureau. And you didn't mention that when 250,000 move out of the state they just import 300,000 from other countries...
Now, in Texas, if you have a couple of weed vapes in your possession, you could face up to 10 years in prison & felony charges.
Meanwhile, Ken Paxton let a convicted child molester off with a one-day jail sentence.
And we have another change of opinion
Surprise.~ Surprise
Your effort at being provocative on this topic, or even interesting at this point has failed. You are not even relevant. History has proven that there is little local talent to be city manager, (as evidenced that since the 1920's the CM has always come from the outside, even your beloved jerk, Ronald Forbes, was recruited from the outside). In that time, no home grown Mayor has stood out as exceptional, even you. What further proof do you need??
I say sackets because that will trigger all you uneducated MAGA losers
IDK, you’d probably have to consult with legal on this matter
Sounds like you wanna kiss him, 6:03. Pucker up
Watertown is heading on a downward spiral and this sitting council is helping any .
Trump: "There's a tape that's out there that I posted on Truth where you have people leaning over the side. The weakest part 'cause of the flexibility. You know it moves. It's very complicated. It moves. And the softest part has to be flexible. And that's the stuff you can cut."
The softest part is his frontal lobe
Yes. Now 5:38 is a person who thinks. Jeff, he spews 10 suggestions and hopes one comes close to making sense. And when he was in government, he was a barfly. Just happy to be in the room, and where are we going for drinks afterwards.
MEMPHIS: “A mechanical contractor who helped build Elon Musk’s Memphis-area data centers at breakneck speed says SpaceXAI is dragging its feet on paying his company for work performed since 2024…owes his company more than $136 million…” actionnews5.com/2026/08/01/con…
One more bout with a decent strain of covid is most likely going to be lights out for you, Jeff. I wouldn’t be dwelling on the little things in life. I’d get busy living.
