[Vision2020] The Recall

[John Danahy]

All;

 

     I am generally opposed to the St Mary's gym because I do not think
there is a valid solution to the parking problem in the surrounding
neighborhood.  That said:

 

I find it shocking to my poor progressive sensibilities that this issue
should incite such vitriolic language.  Hear we have an individual,
disagreeing with a council decision, seeking to recall some council members.
This individual, sometimes known for excessivieness, does not live in the
city, and therefore cannot vote.  But he does own businesses in the city and
therefore pays city taxes.  Taxation without representation this was once
called.

 

Now this recall is certainly an issue that should be discussed here   But
instead of discussing the issue, the pros and cons, the reasons good and
bad, we see another side of our community.  We see words like sleazy,
snakeoil, sinister, irrational, little boy and GET REAL.  These words do not
pretend to relate to the issues at hand but are referenced to individuals.
How truly sad.

 

I would expect that Bill London and Lois Blackburn, founding members of the
MCA, would wish to defend and support the council members the organization
endorsed.  This is not the way.

 

John
