Progress Is His Middle Name

Was Goldie Wilson a good mayor of Hill Valley?
His detractors point to the fact that Hill Valley was a serene, clean place in 1955 but when he was Mayor in 1985, Hill Valley was overrun with homeless people and Libyan terrorists.
But Wilson evidently used his later term or terms to restore Hill Valley to its pristine nature once again by 2015. At that time his son was mayor, further proof he was popular because why would they have elected the son if the father wasn't any good?
And when his grandson, Goldie III, tried to sell hover conversions for $39,99.95, he invoked the first Mayor Wilson in his ads, another example of his popularity among the people of Hill Valley.
Also, many have praised Mayor Wilson's efforts to get federal relief money for Hill Valley after a fire destroyed much of the town square.
