Not a fan of the tea party so Kevin is getting my vote

You'll have my vote... Different times call for different leaders!

PS: Mayor Burns has spent way too much time running for other offices. 12 years is enough. Time to elect a different mayor for our city.

Ditto Angela's sentiments.

I'll vote for him just to piss off Jeff Ward

I’d rather have a rough, mean spirited, curmudgeon who saves my tax money than a comedian who spends it.

"Married". PERFECT

It is a non-partisan election, and he has been there awhile and he does treat the dias as a bully pulpit occasionally....but does he really need replacing? What has he done/not done that should get him fired? It seems to me the City has done fine while he has been there. Yes there are some key empty storefronts; but, you can't really blame him for that.

My real question is why did Bob spend a mini-career railing against the spending mentality of the 304 Board (and Thank God he did) and then decide to seek a different office? Wouldn't his expertise be better spent helping the Board solve the debt crisis it is facing rathere than being the Mayor?

In my opinion, Bob is without a peer when it comes to uncovering facts and doggedly pursuing corrective action. Without his Taxfacts work, I believe we would still be in the dark about the enrollment projection numbers, the real cost of a tax levy, etc.

So the question is, is being the school board watchdog his highest calling? I think he has shined a bright enough light into that situation and in the future, a large number of Genevans will be much more vigilant about the goings-on in dist 304

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing Bob take on bigger fish in this community and state.

Can someone correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't Geneva have a Council/City Administrator form of government where the role of the Mayor is primarily ceremonial? I would have thought if Bob wanted to effect "real change" that would be felt by Geneva taxpayers he would have run for the School Board where he could have a "direct impact" on what amounts to 80% of Geneva's property tax bill.

What is Bob's current/past employment that qualifies him for this public office? I see him contribute quite often to web sites and board meetings, but I have not seen a reference to his professional background or real world experience. This is important. I am simply inquiring as a potential voter. I just want the facts before I vote.

Seriously???....you must be joking....Mayor???
Are you going to crumple up paper and throw it in the faces of people that get in your way and don't agree with you? That's what you've done in the past to certain school board members...

Mayor Burns has done a decent job over the last few years. However he doesn't seem to be about to keep the city spending in check. For example one time a few years back there was an extra $50,000.00 in the budjet. Instead of saving it they gave it for raises in the police department. Mind you this was a time when everyone was taking a hit with loss of job or reduced hours. I would of been happier seeing this money saved. This is not the only example. Bob where can someone contribute to your campaign.

Thanks for your offer. Since no one is officially on the ballot until their petitions are submitted and then pass a possible challenge, my fundraising will start after the 1st of the year. I'll keep residents posted on how they can support to the campaign.

Booooo!! Bright guy when facts need to be twisted, but that's where his ability ends. He would make a great AM radio talkshow host!

I like Kevin Burns but we NEED Bob McQuillan. We need someone who has the courage to tell it like it is then pursue a resolution........with conviction.

The reason we need people like Bob in office(s) is because the people that we were supposed to trust with our public finances have for the most part abused that trust. In the perfect world we would not need TaxFacts or for Bob to educate us on the inner details of the city and school budgets. In the perfect world the elected bodies would treat every dollar like it was their last while making sure that government services are provided efficiently. I think Bob represents exactly those qualities and he should be given a chance to show what he can do. I'm a Mill Creek resident so I can't vote for Bob, but I hope that the rest of you do.

I've been reading the comments here. Interesting to say the least. It's about time Mayor Burns go elsewhere. I can think of an incident where he spoke out against something he had no business talking about and repeated hearsay. He's also good at dropping the "F" bomb when it suits him. I have watched numerous City Council meetings. The word "Bully" and "Arrogant" come to mind. He didn't get my vote the last time, even though he ran unopposed. I'm voting this time and it won't be for Burns.

Bob has no public office experience whatsoever, he represents a strong conversative right wing base of the public and has exhibited no collaboration or team building skills over the few years he has been representing TaxFacts and abusing the BOE and the GEA. However anyone can run that's why this is a free country. Good luck.

The idea is to collaborate, not to be so far one way or another otherwise nothing gets done "Married to a Teacher". So union's are corrupt so what, how much corruption exists today in every sector of the public and private market? Society doesn't move along unless we have give and take on both sides.
