Thanks to all of you who came over to Highland to help confront the mayor. As usual, he lied and smooth-talked his way through the evening. But with some good questioning by Dann Dobson, Bob Parker, Jane Prince and Erin Stojan, we managed to reveal some of those lies. He denied threatening Rep Hausman over the floodwall, but when pushed he framed it in a way that was supposed to make it sound better - but was still clearly a threat! Mostly he went on and on about his version of why the floodwall is a good thing. I don't think he ever did answer Dann's question about why he's shilling for NWA. One of the gems of the evening was when he was talking about the latest restrictions on Section 8 housing, sympathizing with the victims of this new HUD policy and then saying "And if the President has his way it will only get worse." Excuse me??? Would that be the president YOU endorsed???!!! We didn't get a chance to ask him about Planned Parenthood and why they had to fabricate reasons to issue the permit to share the sidewalk. There were several other topics talked about, but I'm too tired to write it all up tonight, so I'll leave that to others. OH - another GREAT thing was that apparently Dann, Jane & Erin talked to KFAI afterwards!! Do you guys have any details on when that will air?? Jeanne Schnitzen Persona non grata with the mayor (and always proud of it!) Highland Park
