LE: Gatsas is right for Mayor
We are facing tough financial times.  As a business owner, I've had to make adjustments.  I do this because every other week I have to ask myself, "Will I be able to make payroll?"  To me there's no more question because my employees rely on me.  They rely on me to provide them with their paycheck that will but food for their table.  Every business decision I make starts and ends with this question.

When I consider my options for mayor, I apply the same logic.  I look to the mayor as the CEO/President of the taxpayers' company.  The mayor needs to be fiscally responsible, be willing to look at all the facts and figures and propose a practical solution regardless of political rhetoric.  You must do this because someone else's livelihood is on the line.  That being said, the mayor also needs to strike a very careful balance: a balance between keeping taxes low and offering high quality city services.  This is no small task.

From all that I have watched, read and see, Ted Gatsas is the right person for the job.  After listening to the questions he asks, it's apparent that he has a very keen business sense, and after learning more about him it appears that he has been successful.  I will vote for Ted Gatsas because my bet is he will ask himself, "Can we make payroll?" and ensure that he will.
