Mayor Kevin Johnson posted a blog called “Mayor Johnson goes green.. starting with shades and nickname“  yesterday. I couldn’t resist a few remarks. My comments are in bold..

“Call me Kevin “Green Shades” Johnson. I’ve had a few nicknames, but none I’ve liked as much as “Green Shades.” The idea of walking around with [...]

“State of the City” is a misnomer. The mayor’s address today is more like the “State of Business” address given to Chamber of Commerce members and others who were willing to pay the admission fee. The mayor should hold an actual State of the City address at a large venue such as [...]
