Late Breaking News From City Hall

[Corey Rossen]

Great post. I remember when the Deck started and I considered the "tell us about your organization" thread but even at that time only the "general discussion" was receiving any traffic. I posted in some other topics but always resorted to "general" for any audience otherwise the post was lost on the Deck.

I guess my problem with the part about Deck Secret Societies is the hypocrisy that exists within. The powers that be on the Deck criticize others for secrets yet they have been keeping many all along. This is the part where the powers that be, that claim to have no power or know of anything happening in the business, claim private sector vs government. I understand that part as well. It gets tiresome watching others throw stones when their own homes are solid glass. Or practice what you preach. Or...some other tiresome cliche.

Hypocrisy?

Secret Societies?

Criticize others?

Tiresome?

I trolled all morning without a bite--stick baits, crawler harnesses, planer boards, dipsy divers--but not a bite and hardly marked a fish on the screen. It was great.


How are you doing there brother?

Cab you tell us about your organization?

Huh??

Fishing or phishing?

So you didn't catch anything either.

Just a note from Jim. Something about his dry cleaning is done and he expects you'll be picking it up for him sometime soon.

70 hours after Jim's post, Summers made a public statement through the tabloid.

If Jim did not make this post, would we even know that Siley was leaving?

Do you think that the convicted criminal would have made his post either?

Hmmm

[Lori Allen _]

The PD just posted, and they DO point out that Liberty has done business with the city.
So this is an example of "revolving door crony capitalism", where corporations hire government employees in order either 1) get access for lobbying or 2) reward a government employee for services rendered.

The piece even used the "leaving to spend more time with the family" routine.
Just once, I want to hear someone say, "I'm running for office in order to spend less time with my family".

Is it really that unusual that he is leaving to spend more time with his family? Everyone seems to have forgotten that he did just lose his wife a few months ago. I lost my dad when I was 12, and my mom had to raise four kids. Being a single parent is not easy.

I don't like Dru Siley at all either. On the other hand, everyone is really coming down hard on him in this thread.

[Dan Alaimo]

I got to know Dru early in his tenure with the city and like him very much. Unfortunately he was on the other side of some issues that I backed, but that's no reason to abandon compassion. I find his personal tragedy unimaginable, so it seems quite reasonable that it would play a role in his departure from City Hall.

Now, why the Administration held the announcement for a late Friday afternoon news dump is another matter.
