Can't wait to see how he goes, seems pretty honest, something Joe Kelly certainly didn't show, hopefully he keeps that way

How bad was Joe Kelly. It's not an easy job but Joe seemed so far out of his depth.

On a positive note, Joe had some very good Simcity skills. Who could forget his plans for Brookvale Oval?
