Mr Pitt is the only one of the seven dwarves on city council who seems to have some common sense and a genuine concern for the needs and desires of all the citizens of this once great and after this years municipal elections maybe on the way to being a great city again.
Congratulations, Sir!
Great Job Mr. Pitt. Thank you for representing us on a national level that is not embarrasing, idiotic or stupid. (Whirligigs, sofa's on the porch and chicken bashing)
Mr. Pitt really is the only person on council who seems to listen to the people and their concerns. He at least shows he's interested in what we have to say and is listening.Thank you.
