Metal is Bent When Hot--Madigan Must Be Removed

[Brian Essi]

“If you know the enemy and yourself, you need not bear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” Sun Tzu

Some interpret Ms. Madigan’s withdrawal from the race as some sort of victory—it is not---they don’t really know her—she has merely decided to protect her career advancement downtown and conserve her energy for her battle against the will of the voters.

Her withdrawal does not change the facts:
1. She is still Council President until January;
2. She is still an LHA Trustee until January;
3. She still controls City Council's Agenda until January;

I’m told she has vowed to use her power to press on to pass the LOI by September. So she has essentially said that she has no mercy or empathy for the underserved and the will of the people.

She has divided the citizens of Lakewood from the truth for long enough.

I will pursue and defend the truth regardless of how uncomfortable and ugly it may get.

To Ms. Madigan, I say: NO RACHMONES!

To the rest of Council and my fellow citizens, I say: you bend metal when it is hot. Holding people accountable can be hot and uncomfortable--make yourselves uncomfortable.

Good leadership is about accountability---without accountability there can be no change. We need change now.

She must be removed from the LHA Board and from the leadership on Council ASAP!

Brian,

This is crazy, these public servants! Where do they get off acting this way?

Doesn't it mean when one ceases to serve the public, you cross over to corruption?
