Leonard’s excuses don’t explain McLin's loss

Do any of us believe that she did not know that former City Manager Rashad Young was going to give himself and 300-plus managers a pay raise?

The last reason Leonard gives for McLin’s loss is the lack of an endorsement from the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance. What he doesn’t say is that the group also stayed neutral in the last election, which she won.

Leonard, like so many politicians, misses the reasons why someone is booted out of office. I am sure, in the good times, she would be a great ribbon-cutter. But when you need someone to move this city forward, she does not have what it takes, and the citizens were fed up.
