I haven’t announced what I’m running for yet, but if [I] were governor, I would
1. Call a special session to bring back the ballot initiative
2. Declare a state of emergency and ban all slow vehicles driving in the left lane
3. Based on all the college baseball games I have attended, change the Governor’s Cup into a single elimination mid-week tournament featuring all 8 public universities
4. Call for a freeze on stoplights on Highway 49 between Gulfport & Jackson
5. Issue an executive order mandating that “Moneyball” be required reading/viewing in all BA, BS, MS, MBA, PhD & EdD programs (& any other IHL abbreviated program)
and that would be the first 47 minutes.
In preparation for one of the best days of the year, MLB Opening Day, I’m declaring an unofficial city holiday for Thursday (with no actual benefits) & encourage our residents to wear their favorite team’s apparel (unless, of course, they’re a Metropolitans fan).
Fifteen years of using social tools to share key messages has always been guided by 5 very simple principles:
- be human.
- commit to clarity.
- know when (and when not) to post.
- understand that some conversations aren’t worth joining.
- don’t do dumb things.
Defending the economic vitality of our community without an Applebees was not at the top of my list for things I thought I'd share this week. But, here we are.
This job is wild. 👀
