I think Richmond City Manager Floyd Johnson had a right to select people he felt could do a good job and not those some council members wanted. 

Those council members are angry because we do not have a push-button city manager. They would prefer a city manager who would say, "How high," if council members asked him to jump. 

I am proud of Johnson. He proved he is his own man and he will succeed. 

I am happy to join the recall team of the friendly five Nathaniel Bates, Richard Griffin, Tom Butt, Alex Evans and Donna Powers.
