Joe was out to dinner Friday and had a funeral service on Monday. If only there were, and I know this sounds crazy, say two days in between Friday and Monday where Joe could've had more time to get things done. We could even call these two days the "weekend". I mean, I'm sure students are never asked to bring work home in between Friday and Monday. Seems complicated! Maybe Joe is trying to get on that BlumShapiro work schedule?

Much like everything else over the last year with this administration the optics are terrible. Seriously, if the problems this City is facing now don't require working 7 days a week, when will they? If the argument is "this is what the last mayor did" well, I thought Joe was supposed to be different from our previous Mayor? I'm sure the Beacon appreciates the paper full of quotes they recieve from this Mayor every week but at some point his staff needs to recognize this isn't serving ANYONE well and it's time to get to work! When the only answer you have for the schools financial crisis is "I guarantee you sports will NOT be cut" it creates a perception that Solomon doesn't have his priorities in order. When his instinct is to ignore a call on Friday and return it on a Monday, that doesn't fill me or anyone else with optimism that he wants this fixed at all costs. With every article that comes out my confidence disappears.
