Do we really want Mama Bear to run our city? I want a strong leader who will take action and make decisions not someone to "baby" us. Can someone please tell me why she is more qualified without using nursery rhyme terms? Mark, I totally agree. How can we, one of the most highly educated populations in the state, devalue education in this elections? Just does not make sense to me. Mama Bear…seriously?!?
