The truth is that the gimme-gimme deals are wired long before they ever get to the council. And according to remarks most of the rest of the council made last week, those deals aren't about to get unwired.

So if your street needs fixing or your alley needs paving, ask yourself a question. How wired are you? If the answer is "not very," then ask yourself another question. How well do you skate?
