Mayors could never get away with the kind of nonsense that goes on in Washington. In our world, you either picked up the trash or you didnt. You either moved an abandoned car or you didnt. You either filled a pothole or you didnt. Thats what we do every day. And we know how to get this stuff done. – Michael Nutter
If you have a deep-seated need to be loved and admired every day, you shouldnt be in politics. You should go work at a pet store. – Michael Nutter
I think there is a big difference between expressing the pain and anger that many African Americans and other people of color may feel versus language that I think now crosses the line and goes into hate. – Michael Nutter
What the mayors care about is, How can I get money to invest in the infrastructure in my city? How do we put people back to work, lower the unemployment rate, provide for job training programs? How do we make class sizes smaller and make investments in our children from an education standpoint? – Michael Nutter
