Mr. Krueger seems to be continuing his role of propaganda and spin control
that
he so actively pursued in efforts to shut down the Hard Times."
We are frequently called to testify at Public Safety & Regulatory Services
hearings regarding licensed establishments and our judgements as to their
ability to run their businesses in a lawful manner. I myself did not appear
before the PS & RS committee; however on this list I presented information
that was public about the Hard Times--911 calls to the property. I guess
now I'm the one confused as to who ordered anyone to suppress public
information?
Further: " Biernat's actions were the equivalent of one judge arranging for
the police to put political pressure on other judges sitting on the
decision-making panel. I do not believe it is unfair to label such behavior
as corruption."
I didn't realize that council members were to put aside their roles as
elected officials who respond to constituent concerns. As chairs of their
committees, I assume they have no vote in the matter? I'd like a
clarification on this. Regardless, I stand by my previous posts to the list
regarding Hard Times which focussed on the public information surrounding
the business, and it is far from corruption for us to make the case against
a business which allowed criminal activity to take place on its premises.
It's called, "doing our duty."
