I have gone from chuckling about that wacky mayor, through chuckling in shock and now all the way to being appalled and just pitying the man.
I hope he gets the help he needs. That much rage, and that kind of lifestyle - I don’t think he’ll be around ten years from now. He needs help. I don’t think anyone should be jailed or even charged for drug use, but I do think an inability to control one’s addictions is a sign that you should not be in public office. (If he has been involved in other crimes then he should be charged with those).
He also needs to resign and let the city carry on with life. His all-too-public pain needs to become private pain again, and not be spread across the front pages.
