You're not losing votes from the people who think you're a cunning water main saboteur. But the rest of us would've respected a bit more sass when things got stupid.

Gondek unfortunately, tried to be a politician that took the high road. She was better suited for a time when we regarded our politicians much higher.
Look at today's political environment - slogans, sound bites and lowest common denominator resonates extremely high amongst the electorate.
