[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]For every person that got called a racist every time they complained about anything people didn’t like such as crime whether White or not, we are quickly devaluing that currency till it’s meaningless.

I go on facts and [b]direct quotes[/b] from now on.[/quote]

I agree. The Chamber of Commerce should release the video so that we can have the direct quote. What do you think the Chamber is covering up?

I don’t even know there’s a cover up? Could there be?

I would not even speculate, but if I were forced to, I’d guess it was some clumsy statement that was then reframed to cause faux outrage. Could be completely wrong. I don’t think anyone in the running is a known racist? I know some people said one candidate made anti-Semitic statements but I’d like to see quotes before I believe that too.

Overall, I’m not pleased with the level of discourse from any of the candidates. It’s at the playground level of you are… no you are… when there are serious issues to address.[/quote]

If it was simply a clumsy statement or being misrepresented, the video would make this clear. The fact that the video is not being released suggests that the video is not exculpatory.

Also, you have referred to a statement by a Council Member about insulating houses. Do you have a direct quote of that or does your interest in direct quotes only go so far?

I’m my hypothesis, I assumed the Chamber was neutral. You are right, I continue to withdraw any conclusions until I see the quote.

Regarding Ward 1, I checked and I don’t know what was said since I can’t find it but the recent statement referred to “Set first-of-its-kind standards for soundproofing in new residential buildings, with higher standards in entertainment districts;”. That’s suggesting to me that the retellings saying residents should soundproof homes were most probably taken out of context. So I just went on her official Twitter too now and the search does not pull up one single mention of ATVs. So I still think Ward 1 must do better. Thanks for keeping us honest. I think people are really feeling the impacts of things in their daily lives and so trying to listen well and do better will be important. I for one have no interest any longer in any ideology and don’t vote by party affiliation. I will do my best to understand the issues, but it can be hard.
