Exactly. When I went to the Property Rights Action Committee Demonstration on this issue, Dean Zimmerman said he thought this was a possibility and he would look into it. CM Lilligren also told me that was an interesting idea, and he would look into it. He has since rescinded that on this list -- and said he thinks Joe Biernat should keep his committee chairmanship. This is especially ironic since Lilligren ran partially on a high ethics and integrity platform.
Ethics have to start from the top -- and Biernat is setting a bad example for other city employees. >I think the technical term is: Throw the bum out. Maybe then we can >start building some trust in City Hall. Until then it is a cruel joke. Exactly.
