That means making someone mad and giving a pot full of money to one or even more of the candidates. If only they could get him elected one more time. Maybe even for four years instead of the normal two year term. Along comes State Rep Ron Wilson. Wilson, a powerful member of the House and an attorney who has been retained by the City in the past, has introduced a bill that would allow Mayor Lanier to run one more time.
Most observers think that it is a nice gesture.
Just something to make the Mayor feel good. There appears to be a real movement from Friends of the Mayor to pass the Wilson bill. Who knows what will happen. The Mayor says he is flattered but is not trying to pass the bill. Several legislators who think that they should be the next Mayor may work to make sure that the bill stays in committee.
