It was a pretty clear cross-section of Ward 5 voters that supported him.<BR/><BR/>As for Ward 5, it's where I live and I actually like it when the roads are paved and buses run on time.davebertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06822739409684978316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10290429.post-85052250194632964102008-05-31T19:21:00.000-06:002008-05-31T19:21:00.000-06:00Iveson needs to take a look at his ward map and re...Iveson needs to take a look at his ward map and remember that he represents people who actually work for a living, not just the academics that got him elected.<BR/><BR/>He's right that the City has been "cheaping out" on infrastructure and other important stuff.
