QUESTION IS: WHO CAN WEAR SO MANY HATS?

David Bowers? Or Howard Musser? Which of the two Democrats would make the better mayor for Big Lick?

When party members accumulate tomorrow in William Fleming High School to decide, they won't have to look far to find the perfect formula.

Mayor Noel Taylor has excelled in the job for 16 years. He succeeded not with relentless backroom head-knocking or by crafting a strategy to end global poverty.

Mayor Taylor succeeded because of his versatility and his refusal to take himself, or his job, too seriously.

Democrats, before you vote, ask yourself:

Can your candidate do this?
