RT Rybak has a city to run. There is limited time in his schedule for every event that commands his attention.
He showed up to the Indian/Native American/American Indian meeting. He listened. He stayed over the allotted time. He could have been "sick" and not show up. RT could have had someone show up to represent the Mayor's office. No, he showed up. Yet that's not enough. It's never enough to please everyone. Chief Olson wasn't there. Yet you excuse him easily and assume he would have been there if he could. Fact, he wasn't there. If anyone needed to be there, it would be Chief Olson. Sick? Unless he had some contagious disease, showing up "sick" would have made a huge impression. Stop riding RT Rybak's back. Let him do his job as mayor given that he has 24 hours a day. If he succeeds at it, great. If he fails, don't re-elect him. Give him some credit for trying, and being there. As far as repeated police brutality, we need leadership that demand zero tolerance. -- Thomas T. Thai / Whittier __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
