I for one would like to agree that an indictment is not a conviction. I have been inundated with calls and emails about this all day.
We sometimes forget the consequences of our actions. I do not defend any wrong doing. But I do feel bad for what his family will have to endure in the future. Before we all sing "ding dong the witch is dead" , lets take a close look at what we are saying and who we point fingers at. Joe is responsible for Joe's actions. His supporters, some of which I consider friends, are as shocked as any one else may be. I have no love lost for my differences with my councilman, but pandering to name calling and finger pointing will get us nowhere. This signals us to be ever vigilant and that our political house is still in need of cleaning. I may be the only one out there (hopefully not), but I feel our civil servants have forgotten their duty to "serve the public" means working for the general good, not for yourself or just your friends. So if indeed Joe did "sell his soul" for $2700.00 I hope he does resign gracefully and avoids bringing our fair city one more rung down.
