Below is a letter that I wrote I sent out to my friends, posted on my facebook page, and referenced in my Twitter Account. I encourage all of you Young Politicos to do the same...

Dear Friends:
Please excuse the blast e-mail, I only do this when it is absolutely imperative.

A little less than a year ago, I was awed , as President Barack Obama said on Election Night, by the “lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference.” I cried tears of joy like as proud father watching his daughter go on her prom as I watched my country “grow up.”

For the last almost two years, I've waited for the Nutter Administration to live up to the "hope" that the citizens had when we elected him Mayor. However, as we round out nearly 18 months, there is much left to be desired.

I am not as critical of the Mayor as I am of his support staff. Perhaps Buzz Bissinger stated it best a few Sundays ago when he wrote " I wanted him to succeed. That's why I voted for him. But after 17 months in office, I am edging to a reluctant conclusion: He still doesn't have a clue. You can point to victories, the most important of which is that people still like him and hope for his success: 90 percent of politics, after all, is perception. But his handling of various crises shows impulsive media-driven judgment that inevitably has no prayer, as well as a shocking failure to have his ducks in order, with the result of getting blindsided and embarrassed." http://www.philly.com/philly/opinion/20090614_THE_THROWAWAY.html

Like Buzz, I am not ignorant to the fact that this Adminstration has been confronted with a global economic challenge. However, the business of government still must go on and for some reason it seems that all of the gears don't click.

Its time for some heads to roll. I watched CityStat and budget testimony and it seems like Dr. Barnett is running her own little fiefdom of government. She seems terribly obsessed with 3-1-1 and seems to ignore the rest of the departments. During one budget hearing, there was confusion about whether Dr. Barnett supervised the Police Department. According the Charter she does. One of the 48 Laws of Power states that if you "strike the Shepard the sheep will scatter." M

Nutter need to shake up this government...show that he is in charge...show that he cares not about his public opinion poll numbers and what the Op-Eds boards say but that he cares about running an efficient government.
