Utica Common Council President and comptroller candidate Bill Morehouse spoke with WIBX First News with Keeler in the Morning.

Morehouse talks about Keeler's "Monster Mash" Utica Common Council parody and said he is looking forward to the opening of Bass Pro Shops next week in Utica.  He says he did not want to take time away during this appearance from Chief Mark WIlliams and Sergeant Steve Hauck with the Utica Police Department, because public safety concerns trump any political news.

He discussed his background and early life, his move as a young adult to the Midwest, and his move back to Utica.

He took calls from listeners, addressed the announcement that he is willing to become Utica's comptroller for a salary of $1 and no health insurance.
