Unfortunately, I could not attend last night’s Council so unfortunately,
I must rely on the TAP video of the Mayor’s remarks in defense of unfortunately
I must rely on the TAP video the Planned City Charter revision or I would have
expressed in person my umbrage of the Mayor’s remarks characterizing everyone
who objected to the Charter/City Code revisions.
I cannot be sure that I was able to accurately quote his remarks,
but they are 99% correct. Just as Trump does in his tweets our Mayor referred
to his critics as “purveyors of misinformation or lies” who owe the citizens of
Plainfield “an apology”. He also stated that the
petition was based on “lies and (unintelligible) misinformation” based on
incomplete facts.
Just like Trump he proclaimed that he was "the source of the truth"
and proceeded to spout a set of numbers and dollars that seemed so confusing
that I will have to get if possible and read before making any comment on their
significance or accuracy. My initial impression from the TAP tape was that that
was all gibberish.
Yes Dan; Sean McKenna was right when in July he wrote; ”the
city of Plainfield has morphed into a single governmental branch operation,
against all standards and norms of democracy (not
to mention little things like constitutions.)”
Neither I or anyone else must apologize for expressing
our concerns regarding governmental action. That is our 1st Amendment
right and acceptable as long as we do not deliberately state misinformation
with the intent to deceive
