Cub Reporters

Bill Wright is going to now tell us all the truth. He has railed for years now about PATA and its newsletter and this web site. Now Bill and Mike want to complain about City Hall ''Spin''. What hypocrites!!

They are also apparently announcing that Bob Mapes has been fired. Has that been part of the City Hall spin that I don't know about yet? If these two clowns take on the defense of Mapes then they have some really big ones and they will be marketing swamp land next.
