Comment: Tell Mayor Coleman that we definitely do not agree with his patting-himself-on-the-back for snow removal. This city shut down for days, and the roads in Clintonville were a nightmare and still are! The potholes are insane. And they continue to do stupid projects around town instead of what is needed. from Orient, Ohio by Jen

Comment: The fact is I have yet to figure out what he does on a daily basis. He is turning Columbus into a 3rd rate city. from Dublin, ohio by lynna

Comment: lET'S JUST SAY, IT'S PAST TIME TO REPLACE HIM from COLUMBUS, OH by CHARLES

Comment: I think the mayor is too busy touting pet projects and not putting the needs of the city first. We hear of budget shortages etc., but the city keeps investing money into unneeded projects like the sciota mile and street cars. I believe we could put the money used on feasibility studies to better use like funding more police officers or fire fighters. WhenI think of the word/name Coleman I think of leisure activities like camping. It seems Mayor Coleman has been camping on the job. from Columbus, ohio by andrew

Comment: you have got to be kidding. take his share first then give to the firemen and police dept. and at the time he had all those body guards what a laugh he is. from , ohio by paula

Comment: i think he could have done a better jod overall from columbus, ohio by lonnie

Comment: Mayor Coleman has done nothing to improve Columbus. He has raised taxes, but provided little in return. He has done nothing to curtail unnecessary spending, like the money spent for his security detail. How many mayors do you know of in this country that require over $300K for body guards? from , Ohio by Frank

Comment: Wake up people, Columbus needs a change ! A child could do a better job. He has no priorities. Money should be better spent on safety services, not a three mile railcar. Am I the only one that is noticing the daily shootings ? No where is it safe to travel. It is time for some new and fresh ideas. from Reynoldsburg, Ohio

Comment: He is most certainly one the best mayors this city has ever had,he will get my vote for as long as he chooses to run. from columbus, ohio by Douglas

Comment: He needs to due alot more than say he going to create more jobs. He needs to act on what he says. from Marysville, Ohio by Patrick

Comment: This guy should have been kicked out of office a long time ago. I hope the casino stays in the arena district just to spite him. HE IS AN IDIOT! from Columbus, ohio by chris

Comment: Mayor Coleman in my opinion is one of the worst mayor's Columbus has had,he doesn't care about the people of Columbus,just what's in it for him and his family ! from Columbus, Ohio by Marietta

Comment: As long as Columbus has the same poor city government it will always remain a middle of the pack city, and there is no hope in site. That is why I moved out after 30 years. from Canal Winchester, Ohio by Dennis

Comment: Raising taxes during a recession buys you an F. It is DISGUSTING to think the city can spend like this when businesses are struggling and closing. from Columbus, OH by Charles

Comment: I don't see anything special that he has done for the city of Columbus at all this year or any other year that he has been in office. I wish they would find someone else to be Mayor. He is only concerned about his welfare & if the city will be plowing his driveway & street so he can get out to go to work & that is it. A real Mayor would follow up with the people who plow the streets & make sure that they have done their job & did the side streets & other places that need to be plowed. He really doesn't care as long as he is collecting tax money from us & sitting in his office drinking coffee & maybe eating donuts like the Police do everyday!!!!!!! from , OHIO

Comment: Raging a war on pot holes???? Why not illegals or Gangs? He loves to show case like all politicians but delivers NOTHING. from columbus, ohio by Linda

Comment: He needs a reality Check! from Columbus, Ohio by Angie

Comment: Horrible he has done nothing but pump money into a dying downtown area! A while the 161 area is going to total ghetto! All the business are either gone or have left! The crime in has gone through the roof! Thanks Coleman, this used to be a very nice area! Remember when you used to live over here?!!!!!!! from Ghetto ville!, Ohio by S
