" Just curious why the Trib lists the candidates and their professions except for the ones who are current city council members, I know Dorothy Leonard works at Viterbo, why don't they list her profession or Jim B's? Just curious about that.... "

" The fact that that so many people are willing to take on what will surely be a well funded Johnsrud candidacy indicates potential candidates have little fear of the power of his incumbency. They sense his vulnerability. I wouldn't be surprised if the field continues to grow in the next week to over ten total. I might expect someone from Citizens for Responsible Government, the local taxpayer advocacy group sponsoring the recent anti-city ambulance petition drive to consider a run as well. Stay tuned for a very interesting spring election! "

" Put aside your pens, your exuberance, your endorsements! the tribune editors have already decided who they will endorse! They know that their favorite son, Mark , doesnt have a chance in hell. They will cite his commercial developments but acknowledge his unpopularity. They will name Dorothy Leonard , "man of the year", in an effort to get her ball rolling. Look for it, You can take this suggestion to the bank, The editors have already deleted a prior post suggesting this. Its so much fun to read the trib editors small minds! "

" Selling cell phones....running a city...the correlation there is? What I know of this "young man" I would never vote for him. Unless you want to have underage parties in the mayor's office and have him provide and then when you get in trouble he will get you off. This is the truth. "

" Now, instead of new carpet, we get a kid that sits and plays video games all day. Age doesn't matter; however experience does. If this guy can sell cell phones to people that do not need them, what is he going to try and sell to the taxpayers that we don't need? "

" That's it I'm In! Fatbastard for Mayor! I am for building the lower income areas of La Crosse, Less Overtime for City Employees, Holding the Police Dept accountable for the Motto which if I remember correctly is to "Protect and Serve". Which does include more patrols within the lower income areas, making their presence known for more than parking tickets and moving violations... Yes Fatbastard For Mayor. "
