Dumb and Dumber

I recently wrote a letter to the Editor calling out the Mayor Jim Sanborn's trolling on Twitter as Bullying. Mayor Sanborn has been blocked on Twitter by State Auditor Rebecca Otto, Mayor Sanborn has also utilized Social media forums to attack officials in Minneapolis including Ward 5 Councilman Blong Yang. Mayor Sanborn openly cites himself as the Mayor of Waconia during the exchanges.The following week Mayor Mike Webb of the neighboring City of  Carver  and Jeff Thompson, a GOP activist from Cologne. I responded to Jeff Thompsons letter the following week, I was recently asked why I did not respond to Mayor Webb's letter and most people in Waconia's response to that letter was "whose Mike Webb?" and for those that do know who Mike is they think he's a bully too and it's only natural for the bully to defend the bully. One of the things that struck my attention in Webb's letter was his quote "I believe in the right to discourse – I also believe the right to earning your way to the table as to not just toss barbs blindly. " Mayor Webb has had an exceptionally long feud with Commissioner Randy Maluchnik, labeling him "Ma-Douche-nik" and "Union Randy" Sometimes the best advice we can take is our own Mike. Although I do find the bro-mance between Mayor Webb and Mayor Sanborn to be adorable, One has to ask whose the top and whose the bottom?
