Last December I became very annoyed by the news reporting about the restrictor. There was a lot of heat but no light. At the time I wrote a letter to all papers asking for clarification. My position paper on this issue in this blog is basically the letter I wrote last December.
You will note that one thing I wanted clarified was that Commissioner Radack said that he knew who was creating frays and it wasn’t Mayor Kelly. He said someone needed to ask him who it was. I urged the newspapers to ask the question – “who is creating the fray?”
When I spoke to the commissioner this week, I asked him the question and he declined to answer at this time but restated his position that it wasn’t Mayor Kelly.
To say that he remains furious with Mike Ross for secretly taping conversations with him is an understatement.
Why our City Manager and sole negotiator with the county would do anything to antagonize the elected official who represents us is a mystery.
Talk to people who live outside of West U. I have. There is little sympathy for "snooty rich people who live in our little enclave dumping our excess water downstream."
As I say on this blog, engineering issues aside, this is a political issue more than anything else. We can ill afford to squander the little political capital we have. Mike Ross dug a very deep political hole for us when he secretly taped conversations he had with one of the most powerful people in the county.
