Anyway, I'm not voting for him, so I don't know why I insist on defending him here. I guess I don't care if the idea is his own or he found it on a trip, I would like it regardless.
I didn't mean to infer that he was stealing the idea from other cities but he is jumping onto a local bandwagon that only got moving after he left office. The idea was around back when he was an Alderman and should have been a priority but it was only made so after he left. Basically, the idea was around back then so why didn't he jump on it then?
