“ALDERMAN, n. An ingenious criminal who covers his secret thieving with a pretence of open marauding.”
Ambrose Bierce
“Should an alderman elect to resign, they can do that at any time. The resignation would be received in a formal meeting of the board. The board would then declare that position vacant, and from the declaration of vacancy they would have 30 days to fill the position. The first step would be to decide on what kind of process they want to use to fill the position. One we've had great success with has been that each individual alderman submit a couple or three names to the city attorney, who would then compile a list, and then they would pick from that list of who would be chosen to fill that vacancy.”
Dave Light
“I've never received this kind of contributions before. I have received smaller contributions as alderman and always thanked those contributors as well.”
Frank Coccho
“I like Alderman firstly because it is not Club Clemons. It is much quieter in Alderman and there is much more of a studying atmosphere.”
Sara Muir
“The alderman isn't a person, it's a seat.”
Nate Albert
“[Second Ward Alderman Mac Myers asked Price if the 10 p.m. curfew was too early.] It's not too early, ... I don't know where your 15-year-old is at 10 p.m., but mine's at home.”
Eric Price
“It's hard to claim you're fiscally responsible when you raise your hand and vote aye to spending after spending, in support of special interest after special interest. It's also hard to claim you can fix a deficit when all you've brought them here and have no clue how to turn a deficit around.”
