criteria difficult few match people quite
I don't think it will be that difficult to match the (10) highlighted criteria on this list. There are probably quite a few people out there who have done these things.
arranged center cultural goes nicely park people plenty quite stores traffic walk
I think it's quite nicely arranged around our cultural center this year, and I think that's fine. People still will see the stores as they park and walk through downtown, going to and from the festival. There will be plenty of traffic that day. We'll see how it goes this year.
front
informally, you know, but not in front of the council.

I don't think that politics attracts the best and the brightest of America. It doesn't attract the most sincere people.
fire hearts lost
Our hearts go out to those who have lost their homes, ... This fire is so overwhelming, so devastating.
belief career coincide good happens interested loses majority necessary people politics public pursuing themselves
My belief is the majority of people in politics are just interested in pursuing this career in politics, and doing what's necessary to get themselves re-elected. And if that happens to coincide with the public good, great. But if it doesn't, the public good loses out.
cost council discussion front public service sewer talked
I don't think we ever had before the Council discussion of the sewer cost of service study, you know, at a public meeting, ... We talked about it informally, you know, but not in front of the council.
hard stores veterans
Without stores like that, veterans would have a hard time.
careers want needs
I want to be mayor, but I don’t need to be mayor. I’m not a career politician.
