Now this post has gone from Mike Garrity to Tammy?   I don't necessarily agree with the stances Tammy takes but I do respect her for her hard work.  I probably don't agree politically at all with Tammy but why knock someone who works hard to do something for her community?  If only Alderman Garrity would have worked as hard instead of playing in the bars he may have won his election.

I agree it was the Walmart issue, not the bar, that had to do with his defeat. Unfortunately I think he and his supporters felt it was a non-issue, and that his status as a successful incumbent meant the people would just ignore those signs. They should have countered by pointing out all the Dems who voted for the Walmart project, or the advantages of the project to the majority of Manchester citizens and the tax rate.
