FOP meeting with mayor a big disappointment

right on.

YEP I agree........we need someone that has some personality........I like John but he has no creativity and can't get the people on our side.

You should be glad you have John McGuire. He is articulate and has kept you from already having to give up anything that you have worked hard for. Often times too much said just gets you into trouble. John McGuire seems to be a man of a few well thought out words. As an aside - aren't you glad you voted for a contract recently. Just think where you would be without a contract at this particular time.
