Edinger supports public vote on McEuen Field
City Council president ‘disappointed’ he was not appointed to committee that helped design plan

Dear Newsletter Readers,

This was Saturday morning’s front page headline in the CdA Press. It put City Hall into a panic. The official line from the city is that the council often disagrees with each other but they are professionals.  Behind the scenes, however, they are scrambling and sending their cronies out to change the subject in the local media. They will do anything to divert attention away from the topic of a public VOTE.

The hubbub all started last Thursday noon when I was the speaker at the Reagan Republican meeting at Fedora’s. The place was packed and they even had to open the partition wall and bring in more seating. Thank you to all who attended.

I was surprised to see Ron Edinger enter the room. He politely greeted me and I told him I was glad he was there. (more…)

But I can’t.  I can’t, even though I want to, because the City of CdA continues to do one outrageous thing after another.  It’s like a parade of arrogant injustices, played out in the dream bubble of City Hall.  (more…)
