Council gadfly plans election run
Over a cup of joe this morning at his friend's coffee shop, Bill Hanlon decided to run for City Council.
"We have to bring the council back to the people," Hanlon said. "Right now, we don't think people are running the City Council. We think special interest and unions are running the City Council. The citizens deserve better than what we're getting."
By "we," Hanlon means him and coffee shop owner Jim Moffatt, who announced his plans to seek a council seat last week. The two are among the harshest critics of the City Council, slamming the city for everything from its anti-smoking policies to a banner program that requests payment. In other words, they're a pain in the City Council's collective neck.
When asked if Hanlon's name on the November ballot would cancel out Moffatt's name, the coffee shop owner said, "We're not worried about that. We want to cancel them out."
