Lubbock was in a hell of mess before Tom Mayor took over.  The mayor before him was nuttier than an elephant turd and Lubbock was a sinking ship.  Tom Martin righted that ship and kept it going forward at a steady pace.  These are days of change though and people all over are in a mood for new leadership, sometimes at the expense of great leaders.  So now we welcome Glen  Robertson to the office, there's just one problem...we have no idea what this guy wants to accomplish.  More after the jump.
