Wolf stood her ground and refused to be bullied by Braxton. West decided to disengage. The good news is that some say Braxton is considering a run for Mayor. Clearly, he has some qualities in common with the current Mayor. Pity, though, he doesn't have even half the brainpower Wilder wastes nor even a single veterbrae of Wolf's backbone when it comes to fighting for something that matters. Run, George, Run ......

Pity, though, he doesn’t have even half the brainpower Wilder wastes nor even a single veterbrae of Wolf’s backbone when it comes to fighting for something that matters.

Run, George, Run ……
