On another note: poor former Mayor Pete Lewis got his feelings hurt!   He felt like he was "thrown under the bus" when Mayor Backus used his name in the debate.   Conveniently his memory doesn't allow him to remember how easily comments can be miss taken or how many people he threw "under the bus" daily.    City staff were certainly glad for "the breath of fresh air" that came with Backus.   When Lewis felt his protégé was no longer following his lead - he turned his attention to another who just might listen.     I believe it's going to be important to find out who city staff at every level will want to work for.
