Your #10 stood out-He won the last election without a plan. He can win this election without a plan. I don't think so, not what he did to the people of Racine. Residents felt that they were lied to, betrayed and made to look like fools for believing him. You are right on the money about jobs and crime, but the problem being. Dickert does nothing about either. The 2 major things that have turned this city inside out and he remains quiet about it. Right now matter what anyone says, he's bascially a day late and a dollar short doing his job. I believe that a normal every day person with common sense and even no money could beat him tomorrow in an election.racineuncoveredhttp://www.racineuncovered.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5491910093571620081.post-76071874125236832052010-07-16T10:42:04.411-07:002010-07-16T10:42:04.411-07:00Dickert is a failure and always was a failure.

If you read past commentaries, you'd know I've criticized the mayor for failing to fulfill his campaign promise.

Clearly there is no 10 point plan, there won't be one and if there is one it will now look bad.
