I am inspired by the looming filing deadline to relate this anecdote: Last month the Moo's Pre-K class was visited by the mayor of Leesburg, and in preparation for the visit they put together a book: "If I Were The Mayor." Mayor Umstaad read the book at the next city council meeting which was telecast on the local cable access channel -- unfortunately we don't have cable so we missed it. Luckily, however, the Moo's teacher burned a DVD of the meeting and sent it home for us. They chose to make the Moo's entry the last one, so we waited through some very creative suggestions (ranging from adding 100 more police officers to opening more bunny shops) to get to "Mayor Moo's" page:
If I were the mayor I would tell people "No throwing glass out of your window or your car because you might hurt someone!" Also, I would talk to people about taxes. Taxes are very good. Taxes take you were you need to go.
