What he meant to say was,"I believe that with a $4,500 campaign contribution we could sell out the parks our neighborhoods deserve."

Joe-- You and your wife's efforts on behalf of the parks are admirable.

However, never--- never throw out an ill considered conjectural statement like you just did, REGARDLESS OF WHO IS OR WILL BE THE MAYOR.

Why? I seem to remember asking for support from the advisory board when I was being repeatedly misrepresented and the response as I interpreted it was that we could say whatever we wanted without any need for evidence. Why chide Joe now? His comment seems to be more facetious than conjectural. Why should he not be able to express himself about anyone regardless of position? Is sarcasm not allowed now? Or was the point to not speak out about a Mayor because of potential backlash?
