I would not have thought in a million years I'd be saying this but I'm tempted at this point to move into District 3 so that I can campaign and vote for Danny Cardenas..... He is the one person that is fully capable of turning these idiots currently sitting on the council completely upside down and keeping them on the edge of their seats and afraid to open their illiterate mouths............

I'm no fan of Danny, but dang if I didn't think a similar thought. He certainly can't be any worse than the tyrannical morons in there now.
