I don’t know about you, but if I got a 59 on a test, it would be an F. There are a lot of people upset with the current mayor, and he only won because of the developer back money. An F is still an F in my book.
Bill Sanders has a very strong following and hopefully we will keep the city and the F mayor on their toes until the next election.

By your reasoning Felts (64%), and Siddique (60%) would both be an F. Kruse would be a D at 66%. McCann would be C- at 72%. Farrington would be the only A at 97%.
These percentages reflect the numbers that voted for these people, not a grade. Your theory makes no logical sense.

Citizens of the City have spoken and made the right decision. Now we can all work together to move forward with what's best for the city!!! Bill Sanders was and is unable to control his temperament. He should never be in politics period.
