“New York's the greatest city on earth - who's going to argue with that? But with a mayor who will do something about a 50 percent dropout rate and one in five New Yorkers living in poverty, it could be greater. Who's going to argue with that?”
Christy Setzer
“It's not a ceremonial or figurehead job as it is in cities that have a city manager. The mayor is responsible for the executive branch of government. So it's probably more important than it is in other cities in Montana.”
Dan Kemmis
“It is like what (Oakland Mayor) Jerry Brown said, 'You can't go this far with mayors,' ... It is like telling us to get out of town.”
Allen Settle
“The spectacle of a mayor and a governor throwing mud at each other while the city and the area were floundering was not a pretty one. That's another area where it's going to take some time and some historians to figure out whether he was let down by the government or not. On the other hand, his anger at those with a higher place on the hierarchy is an understandable one.”
Norm Ornstein
“This is the second year in a row where the mayor has taken her State of the City out to the neighborhoods, and New Tampa is [again] the first.”
Shannon Edge
“If the mayor is representing an independent constituency, he may be representing less than 10 people in the city,”
Chuck Hughes
“I ought to thank the mayor and the city of Boise. They did everything to get this team ready to play football. There wasn't anything I had to do to this football team to get them ready to play. You all did it for us, thank you.”
