This is another story about Mayor John thats what we call him.  First the Liberal bloggers came here to check out our steel mill now the BBC is reporting on our mayor.
I am glad Mayor John is getting some attention because that means Braddock wins. Go Mayor John.
I know its a broken down community but to me its the only place in the world I ever want to live for me its home.

Wow, that guy's really something!  I was amazed at this:

"'Less ink'"

"The town's post-code is tattooed on one forearm, and on the other is a list of five dates, commemorating the local people who have died in violent circumstances during his time in charge.

"'The less ink that ends up on my arm, the better-off everyone is as a community,' he says, relieved that for the past 16 months he has not made any trips to the tattoo parlour."

He's totally into his job - such dedication!

What a breath of fresh air. A public servant who actually serves the public.
