Go, Bridget! I live in the 2nd Ward, but I encouraged all my 4th Ward friends to vote for you. Don't let Jerry Green's games get you down. You won fair and square. Who's Vera Greaves anyway??
If anon 8:48 lived in or near the 4th ward he or she would know who Vera Greaves is. I hope Rivers will do a better job on the council than she has done on the school board.
