   Let us start with the word apathy:

26.2% (same as 2011, 2009)
Registered voters- 35,728
Ballots cast- 9,298
- Information from City Clerk Ed Finn

Gotta hand it to Camuso's aunty Carol, she knows how to wring every vote out of the same old same old  26.2 % with her P.T. Barnum routine of "there's a sucker born every minute."  We'll have to employ the BMR approach to the situation (Bob Maiocco Removal) and that happens when the access TV we pay for doesn't have the specter of Jack Dempsey staring at hosts and producers as a sort of Frank Pilleri (not so deluxe) redux.  Remember, Redux was also a weight-loss drug removed in 1997 - about the time the not-so-fabulous one should have been sent out to pasture.
