Is City Government a Crime Family?

Post by dl meckes »

1) City government should not behave like the mafia.

2) Our Law Director is acting like the Mayor's consigliere.

3) In the age of digital record-keeping, Council decided to keep records for a designated period of time.

4) Council looks like a bunch of crooks terrified of a RICO investigation.

5) Council seems to think that people who think they stink to Hugh heaven are limited to a disgruntled few.

6) I have seen ZERO Sunshine pleas from ANY Councilperson.

Discuss.

This comparison is offensive, misleading and completely outrageous.
You owe the mafia an apology.

Let's think......has the mafia ever shut down a hospital?
Given a choice, I'd rather trust the mob.....they haven't lied to my face over and over and over again like Summers, Bullock, and Company.
Also, the mafia is smarter.

I concur with Mr. Deneen.

Most of the time, the Mafia is pretty straightforward and honest. You may not always like what they have to say, but....

Only a darn fool would send public records with the redactions redacted, especially when they were ordered to be turned over by a court. It would be difficult to top this one as one of the best ways to incriminate yourself.

Is Mr. Butler really a lawyer?
