Here is some information on Mr. Richard: Graham Richard is an American politician and entrepreneur, and the 34th and former mayor of Fort Wayne, Indiana, serving from 2000–2008. He was succeeded by Democrat Tom Henry. After losing several elections for state representative in the early 1970s, Richard was elected to the Indiana State Senate in 1974 and served until 1978. Afterwards, he continued to be involved in both state and local affairs through his membership on several governmental advisory boards and community service agencies. Richard campaigned in 1999 on a platform of increasing the efficiency and responsiveness of local government.He was narrowly elected in 1999 over Republican Linda Buskirk, but won his second election with 58% of the vote. Richard is a great proponent of Six Sigma management techniques, and in 2000, the City of Fort Wayne became the first city government to officially adopt the system. Richard helped lead Fort Wayne to national recognition for high performance city services. Results included: lowest crime rate in over 25 years, saving taxpayers more than $31 million using business practices including Lean Six Sigma, record breaking investments in downtown development, neighborhoods, and infrastructure while keeping property tax rates at one of the lowest levels since the 1960s. Potholes are filled in less than 4 hours instead of 4 days, permitting time has been slashed from 48 days to less than 10. In 2007, the Indiana Chamber of Commerce honored Richard by naming him "Government Leader of the Year." During Mayor Richard's tenure, the City of Fort Wayne won national awards for the #1 Fleet Operation in the nation, and best Public Works and City Utilities Department in the country. He did not seek re-election in the 2007 city election. The item has very little wear-A great item!
