Words fail me. I'm steamin'.
I'm slightly surprised to see the size of Paula Marshall-Chapmans contribution, even though the political pressure to be included surely was immense. Still, that says more than also me and represents a real interest. Trouble is, I can't imagine what it may be. Just one of the GOB's, I guess.
I used to think more of her than this.
IAC, that list of businesses will long remain on the forefront of my fiscal decisions.
Just to let everyone know I have called Houchin Electric and informed them my companies will never use them again. Also I would advise anyone else to call the list of companies today and inform them (nicely) that you will not be using them.
Anon, Paula Marshall Chapman wrote a guest editorial in the World harshly criticizing the councilor bloc about a year ago. I don't know why her contribution to the pro-recall group would be surprising, given that fact.
