"Look, the guy is the main business face of Asbury Park. He shows up
to a meeting in a jalopy, someone will figure they have him right
where they want him from the start. I don't mean to be shallow but
the poeple you deal with in life can be shallow and you can't ignore
them. Some people in business will judge a man just on what kind of
shoes he's wearing."
There's certainly an element of truth in "some people" judging content
by its packaging and "someone" might think they've an edge or
advantage through such shallow reasoning; however, there's an equal
case to be made against the guy whose primary strength is his wardrobe.
The test comes down to whom do you think you're kidding? You may not
like this or want to hear it, but whoever represents Asbury Park in
business or politics will fool no one by showing up in a Cadillac; the
city is a financial basket case, it has consistently shown poor
business sense in negotiations and little proof that it has learned
from past experience.
I like and respect Terry Reidy but suspect he is paid a rate, both
competitive and sufficient; to have attracted and to keep him here; if
the Jeep was part of that package, so be it, but in the final
analysis, putting him in a Rolls won't fool anyone.
