The Value of Political Capital, Second Edition, Revised"Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a mayor? Well after serving three terms as a mayor and being a local and regional government official for over thirty five years I think I know.

"Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a mayor?  Well after serving three terms as a mayor and being a local and regional government official for over thirty-five years I think I know.  So I wrote this book to pull the curtain back just enough to let you peak in and know as well. After you read this book you will know how political capital is used to make government work.  You will also learn that you can tell a lot about how a person will govern by the kind of campaign they run to win an election.  You will also see how circumstances can affect leadership and how public engagement can be a full contact sport.  What is it like working with unions and dealing with the press or managing a fragmented government? I have been fortunate in that my career has spanned over some very interesting times and events.  I was the first modern day Mayor for the City of Methuen after a charter change was approved to create a city form of government.  The way the city was governed changed dramatically and the way government officials interacted and made decisions had to adjust as well.  What happens and how does a city respond when one of your largest employers in your city, Malden Mills, is destroyed by fire?  How do you protect the jobs and the economy of your city?  What happens when your community has term limits and you need to leave before the job is done? 

It is a fascinating life with funny memories and memorable events that leads to a rewarding life.  I hope you enjoy the story."

The shelves sag away from the wall overtime
Color: White, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 15.7in, Color: White, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 15.7in
Although the wood quality and finish of the shelf are clean and well-made, the main issue is that the shelves begin to sag over time while holding around 10 pounds, even though the product listing claims they can support up to 20 pounds. They may perform better on a brick wall, but on drywall you should be cautious. To fix the problem, I had to purchase floating shelf brackets for support, which solved the sagging issue. However, this defeats the purpose of the “floating” aesthetic. Since the shelf is in my bedroom, I can overlook it, but I personally wouldn’t install these in a common area if I wanted a clean floating look.

Looks nice, easy to install
Color: Rustic Brown, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 22in
This shelf is lightweight, looks nice, and was easy to install. It comes with a little level to help you install it properly. There are plenty of mounting holes to choose from, so it is easy to screw it directly into a stud, or to just use holes that are convenient for you. It comes with a plethora of mounting hardware. I mounted mine a bit high up and chose to mount it upside down so that I wouldn't see the three screws that hold the shelf to the mounting bracket.
