We can blame the public for their willingness to accept such excuses. Kudos to Paul Zerby for being the one and only councilmember to have the courage to call for Biernat's resignation. I'm very impressed because I don't think that the candidate I supported would ever have called on Biernat to resign.

Yea, because he was in a weakened state his capacities were diminished to the point that he was too stupid to see that a guilty person stands a better chance of getting off if they have their day in court than if they confess. Give me a break! Let's hope that plea bargain isn't too lenient. At least we'll get a chance to have an honorable Green elected.
