James Sottile, man of many words

Kingston's mayor really has a way with the verbiage. Back in 2004, a busted sewer main flooded houses and businesses along Wilbur Avenue with unspeakable horrors. Six years later, Sottile is pushing for the city settle with the owners, to the tune of $293,000. The mayor's reasoning?

Sottile said the lawsuit should be settled because if the city goes to trial, “it would be a crap shoot.”

Another crap shoot, that is.
