CCO READER RESPOND TO ARTICLE ON MAYOR’S PRESS SECRETARY NOT PROVIDING US INFORMATION ON EXECUTIVE INN

Mrs. Levy, Mr. Barnett & Mr. Weinzapfel,

I write you all to express that we taxpayers and voters are in no mood for stonewalling, further shenanigans with tax money, and/or this kind of apparent bureaucratic lawlessness at the local level. (Specifically in relation to the topic of this article, https://city-countyobserver.com/?p=567)

There might not be a law you are technically violating, but people can and do make judgments of integrity, honesty and morality in leadership. Those judgments naturally get expressed in opinions, votes, etc. We as citizens are asked to abide by our laws – to the letter – respecting contractual obligations. Not fully explaining what seems to be a reasonable disclosure item of a public contract seems to imply some form of anarchy might exists at worst, but foul political gamesmanship of information at best.

This is our city, and it’s our tax money at stake, correct? Right or wrong, isn’t it your obligation to let us decide how concerned we should be about your administrations actions?

Out with it.

Regards,

Dan Effinger
