Of course, it’s not solely Suttle’s problem, but that brings up another issue – he’s impersonal. I went to the budget meetings where Suttle asked for suggestions from the people as to how to address the budget issues. People gave suggestions, saying that they preferred cutting services to raising taxes, and he was terse and rude, telling people that cutting services wasn’t an option.

Having met every Mayor since PJ Morgan, I can say without hesitation that Suttle was the rudest, least caring of them all.

I didn’t sign the recall petition, and I won’t be voting in the election as I’m out of the country, but I’d vote to kick him out based on that.
