So, yeah, until the paperwork is filed...Nothing is settled. <br /><br />As a sidebar-though-related discussion on this topic...I have it on fairly good authority that one of the reasons Brooke Nelson didn't run for reelection is because she was afraid Max Mania was going to run against her. I can't prove this, but I have heard it from several sources.

Don't know why Travis let slip his "other than honorable" discharge from the military. With a veteran in 50% of the local households that may make his campaign more challenging. Also, with regard to David Mabrey, what is he so angry about. Why does he come to city council and scold them? Why does he speak in such cryptic language? He got his little park remodeled by the Delta Dental people with money laundered through the EMC he should be happy. It drove up the value of his property. But no, now he owes them. He has to fly the fluoride flag for the fascist who think government has a right to medicate their citizens. As usual there will be last minute registrations for all of the elected positions and the hallway outside the Auditor's office will be busy from 4:30 to 5:00 on Friday, May 19th.
