SPicy would like to apologize to the readers, especially those of you from Saint Paul.  It sounds like SPicy is getting under the Mayor's skin.  He can't figure out why people can't see all the great things going on in Saint Paul so there is an effort underway to call in some make-up artists  to help cover all the recent blemishes.

Some of the City's top media cosmetologists have been rumored to be milling around City Hall in recent days. In their bag of tricks; Lipstick (laptops), blush (to hide his embarassment) and eye shadow (to hide the bags under his eyes from staying up late trying to figure out why he wanted to be Mayor) are all the tools they're going to try to use to make the accomplishments of the administration look like a runway model.

What the Mayor does not realize is that none of his constituents are going to buy his miracle skin cream.  What the Mayor needs is to genuinely lead this city in a  manner that will put his smiling face on the cover of Saint Paul Magazine again.

If this costs you even more money, SPicy is sorry. 

If you fall for the spin, you'll be the one that pays with your pocketbook. Because when it comes to taxes, all the Mayor brought in his overnight bag is "Max Factor."
