Scarlet OHara said tomorrow is another day. today, tomorrow is another year. Former city alderman and comptroller Virvus Jones spends 28 minutes looking in the rear view mirror -- and ahead. Fergustans roots in North St. Louis, poverty, police, a new stadium, the need for fewer school districts, Larry Rice, Obama, Cuba, and Jeff Rainfords possible, imminent leave taking of Room 200, though the gestation period on that rumor to reality is longer than a wildebeest. Virvus on Rainford: Jeff ruled. You can say it was good, bad, or indifferent, but Jeff ruled City Hall. He ran the mayors office. He was the guy. Francis was the ceremonial head and if you wanted to get something done, you had to get Jeffs approval to get it done. Thats how it worked. He ran it with an iron fist. thats about at the 23rd minute. and on poverty and crime, Virvus again cites Aristotle. kdhx.org/ondemand/podcasts/collateraldamage/virvus-jones-1229
