He raised taxes, albeit, local taxes. Worth watching.

""There are a substantial number of black Democrats coming this way," he said, noting Alabama state Rep. Johnny Ford, a former mayor of Tuskegee who made the switch in January."
Well, I don't know if I'd use substantial, but we're hopefully trying. :-) Rep. Ford is up on my page, and that switch was bold. The question is whether he can win reelection in that district as a Republican.

Ford, I mean, not Mayor Garner, he has no problems with reelection. :-)

He gets his turn to lead the mayor's conference as national Republicans seek black elected officials to highlight and groom for higher office. Mr. Garner said there is no reason that the party can't expand into the black community, which, he noted, was overwhelmingly Republican for a large part of the 20th century. Sounds good, thanks.

"This guy is really not viewed in any racial terms," And that's how it's supposed to be.

He's right. Mayors are incredibly important. I wish we had someone like him in my city.
