Now the City is completely in sane even thinking of something like an 11 year old voting. What is wrong with these politicians? They DO NOT belong in office. Hopefully Ed Flynn can put a stop to this nonsense. If this nonsense keeps up, people may start thinking about not living in this crazy city.
