Lisa McDonald wrote this last fall on the Issues List when Peter McLaughlin was still
trying to deny that he made a deal with Wells Fargo for the taxpayers to build their
driveway:
During my tenure on the City Council during the very early days of this discussion,
the common knowledge was always that the County, Mayor, Abbott Northwestern, Wells
Fargo and the Met Council were for this fly-over because it would so to speak, "beam
these employees into the mother ship", as opposed to having to drive through the
neighborhood. At that time, and now, I was very much against the fly-over because I
believe when people see the size of it they will have a bird. I remember Peter and I
having an argument at a public meeting about the flyover. I indicated that I was
against it. He not so politely indicated I should keep my opinions to myself.
Tom sez:
It looks to me like Peter McLaughlin is about the only office holder who is
enthusiastic about the Access Project boondoggle. If you look at how he treated a
strong female such as Lisa McDonald, it makes me wonder if it is only bullying tactics
that have gotten the project to the point where it is today. Many of the project
supporters are well known for their bullying tactics - Basim Sabri, Wizard Marks,
Scott Persons, and Tom Johnson.
