I may not always agree with Linda Pall on every issue. But she is probably the most honest member of the City Council. I know that she truly does care for this city. <br> <br> _DJA<br> <br> <br><br><b><i>"g. crabtree" <jampot@adelphia.net></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.2873" name="GENERATOR"><!--[if !mso]> <STYLE>v\:* { BEHAVIOR: url(#default#VML) } o\:* { BEHAVIOR: url(#default#VML) } w\:* { BEHAVIOR: url(#default#VML) } .shape { BEHAVIOR: url(#default#VML) } </STYLE> <![endif]--> <style> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Tahoma; panose-1:2 11 6 4 3 5 4 4 2 4;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";}

She did not refer to Wal-Mart employees as "androids." She did not personally insult Sam Walton. She did not disparage Wal-Mart shoppers with unnecessary insults. She merely expressed her opinion that her preference was that Wal-Mart not locate there. What are the odds that this will set
a precedent for future council meetings, where other council persons may have been even more vocal (and much more unpleasant) in the remarks they have made regarding topics that come before them? Topic's where it is clear that there will be no objectivity in that council persons decision making process and no backing down from previously held biases. Anyone for holding their breath?</font></div> <div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div> <div><font face="Arial" size="2">G.
