Mayor-elect Bill Foster thanks supporters
Mayor-elect Bill Foster thanked his supporters in an e-mail today:
To the entire Foster Family:
Wow. It seems like only yesterday we were all at Ferg’s celebrating an awesome victory. Since November 3, I have become reacquainted with Wendy and the kids, spent numerous hours meeting with city staff, and have actually resumed the practice of law (if only for a few more weeks). I have been remise, however, in my lack of contact with you, the family, and I sincerely apologize.
Over the past ten months, I alone accomplished nothing (other than losing 25 pounds, and I will take all the credit for that). However, we, together, achieved something great for the City of St. Petersburg, and I am so truly humbled and honored to have had you all in my life over these past months. I am grateful to all of you who supported me with your time, talent, finances, and prayers, and I will not let you down. None of this was possible without you all playing a role, and trust me - I know it. Please keep us all in your prayers, and remember your City and our Veterans in the process.
Thank you all once again with all of my heart.

Your mother must be very proud of raising a crook.

Congrats Bill! I did vote for Kathleen Ford because you ran a dirty campaign.

Foster's campaign was top-notch. And his campaign manager, Jim Needer, made all the right strategic decisions throughout the campaign.

It's time to start taking bets on who these morons are. I'm thinking it's either Patrick Schorsch or Jammie Bennett. Anyone else?

Remiss. You have been remiss Bill. In a number of things: the Renaissance period, an escape from the dark ages, sound scientific principles, recognizing rights of women, and it seems, general education requirements.
For all those children out there who think college is out of the question- if this guy can get a law degree there is hope for anybody.
