Hie said, lI have been aware that the ugly stigmna of slumn landiord would be attached to my name immediately upon my open declaration to run in the forthcoming election. Being a businessman, 1 am also aware that elections have their own way of engendering rumnors and creating con- fusion. 1 considered ail this very carefully before rnaking up mny mind to run for mayor.
