No, no. It's now Woodward and Bernstein, thank you very much. I play the Robert Redford character. ;-)

See y'all then!

And people that love our city, LOVE our city. Naysayers [and s/a's] be damned. This will all work SO MUCH BETTER, when people that disagree agree on one thing.....JACKSON.

@ Ben, Donna and I both have a serious passion for the city of Jackson. Simply put WE LOVE THIS CITY..and I'm so not a CAVE person!

@Jeff, like you and I... when Donna and I have teamed up and worked together in the past, we accomplished MUCH!

@Donna, they haven't heard that it was all just a publicity stunt to get folk talking...we were never really apart...It worked and that's our story and we are sticking to it!

Yep, we fooled 'em, eh Othor? ;-) Seriously, I appreciate JxnPro asking us to do this tonight. It gives us the chance to kick off our transparency initiative by talking to young, influential people in Jackson about why it's important to stay diligent -- so that groups like the Better Jackson PAC don't assume they can get away with ignoring the law.

Or, being thrown!?! ;-)
