Dear Andy, I cannot address you as “mayor.” You take the salary but refuse to do the work. You never accept responsibility, not even for your own staff lobbying for your benefit. You do not tell the truth. You do not lead. You have no policies. Your slogans are poor.
As elected “mayor” and lifelong professional politician (unlike Joe Motil, whom you dishonestly tarnish with that label in your legally actional campaign misconduct), you fail the City and the city of Columbus.
You, Columbus Police Department chiefs, and the city council that knows little about cities in general and Columbus in particular—and the private interests who dictate their orders to you—are collectively responsible for the failing state of our city.
Admit it: Columbus is the site of mounting violence especially with guns and vehicles. Columbus has no visible public safety. This is true even in the favored but declining Short North whose owners give you commands, including discriminating against the day-to-day well-being of food truck owners/workers. You recent claims of safety based on less than two weeks ONLY in the Short North ignore the ongoing violence everywhere else in Columbus.
