THE SPHINX OF CITY HALL

I must take exception to a portion of the profile of Mayor Bradley that claims he has neglected the Hispanic community. Whether the issue is encouraging many of the city’s residents from El Salvador to apply for protected legal status, hiring Hispanic staff members who move on to other leadership roles in the region, or appointing commissioners, Mayor Bradley has served as a strong, dynamic role model for many of us. He is a mayor for all the people and we should be grateful for having his steady voice as the force governing this city.
