First there was McGinn, then Donaldson, then Sigler. Now T-Mobile Vice President Joe Mallahan has officially thrown his hat into the Mayoral ring. (View his campaign site.) In his announcement, he touts his ability to provide basic services, citing work he did for T-Mobile in Texas during Hurricane Gustav. He also promises to match Nickels' war-chest by May 10th—a tall order. 
For what it's worth, he gave a combined $4,000 to the 2008 campaigns of Darcy Burner and Barack Obama, and also donated $100 to Richard Conlin challenger David Ginsberg.

This guy has no experience running a city organization.
He wants to build a tunnel to replace the Viaduct, but yet won't say how he plans to find the money to do this.
He believes in a plastic bag tax, which places hardship on those economically disadvantaged.
And, Joe...really? Plastic Bags? Doesn't this city have other pressing concerns but he talks about plastic bags? Hearing him speak you wouldn't know because he hasn't spoken much of any of the more pressing matters.
The arrogance of this guy is insulting.
