Mayor Emily Carter wants an explanation why some councilmen stabbed Nancy Green in the back.
She won’t get it or at least won’t get a true one.
At least not from them.
Cowards almost never admit their lack of manhood especially to a woman.
But whatever excuse Roy Briggs and Saul Andrade come up with should be entertaining.
Almost as enternaining as Andrade in the last meeting.
If it wasn’t so funny we would almost feel sorry for him chickening out on not seconding the motion to buy and then voting against the motion to kill.
We think it might have been a desrate attempt to preserve some dignity but going both ways on an issue doesn’t indicate an independent mind as it affirms a non entity.
As for Roy “company man” Briggs, he once again proved that no matter how low one can go in public there is always lower.
We have argued long enough so that people know our opinion on the gas company purchase.
We have put forth our reasons, enumerated our obections.
We know there are people who hold a different one.
they have put forth their reasons and enumerated their positions.
We think they are wrong.
We may even think they are stupid.
But at least they have an opinion.
What is shameful is that at least two of our decision makers have no opinion.
They will vote how they are told.
Whether it is a good vote or a bad vote makes not whit of difference.
They obey.
Great quality in a dog or a slave.
In a councilman, in a man it is despicable.
And as for Nancy Green she put her trust in the wrong set of friends.
A decent human beings would have balked at stringing her along for a year, watching her destroy any chance her company had to make it and then just when all that is left is signing on the dotted line– Never mind.
For the record we don’t believe the council started this process in bad faith.
Faith, good or bad requires a belief system.
They don’t have one.
We have often wondered just how can they look at themselves in the mirror.
We think the answer is that when one has their moral sense removed it is pretty damned easy.
