In campaign fliers Batt states he wants to... " Support public-private partnerships to develope infrastructure improvements"... given Batt's history one can only wonder who is his favorite contractor/ buddy repairs streets....hum more of our $$$ channeled to buddies.... No! NO! NO!!! We're getting rid of C.Ray in May..let's not replace that mess with one in District A.

Prior to this Council taking office in May, Council Member position were thought of as "part time" and therefore were paid $42,000.- per year...part-time employment. In 2002 Batt stated at a neighborhood meeting he would not be attending any future neighborhood meetings. He was true to his word...never attended one and history shows he was never available to neighborhood concerns, but only parties in which he was interested. A zero in participation. Now the salary is raised to the low $80,000.-. Does this mean that if elected Batt will be a 1/2 ----- Councilmember? Will he resign from active participation in his retail business? NAH!
