Have you ever spoken to employees who worked with her?  an extreme few say that she was negotiable or played well in the sandbox!  (ie: worked with or for others)
She's book smart, a educated person, & she believes herself to be smarter than anyone else so there would be no need to surround herself with smart people.   In fact, smart people will be a contention to her so it's better if she doesn't have smart people.  She needs people who will follow her & not think for themselves.  "Listen to everyone"  right now she is only listening to anyone with a negative outlook, & she is feeding the negative outlook.   If Auburn is so awful, what is she doing here?  And i love this statement the best:  "A good mayor will support the City council", but as a council person, Wales has divided the council, she has spread lies and rumors.  If a good mayor will support the City council, they you better vote for Backus!   And if you need more insight, find a school employee who used to work with her!
