I would go to the Brentwood city council meeting but I cannot stomach the moron who calls himself “The Mayor”.

Bob Taylor is a dim bulb. I can’t believe the people were duped into voting for him……twice.

It’s a good thing that breathing takes no thought, because Taylor would be challenged by the simple process of inhaling and exhaling.

Where did Antioch go wrong??????? Apr 14, 2015 - 6:25 pm

Be careful B-wood, ETC will provide your email info to the person you are calling a dim bulb. Isn’t that right ETC. Even after your disclaimer that it will not be made public. You can always email me and we could discuss it.

Well aware of what transpired, I had no part in it. Believe what you wish we do not share info. Maybe you should provide a better alias for bad mouthing someone so they cannot figure it out. You are more than welcome to participate on this page, but personal attacks towards us will no longer be published by you.
