Dean,

I would certainly enjoy a coffee with you anytime. As far as the personal attacks let me offer this so you can determine who drew first blood. In 2011 when I began the fight over the car taxes, prior to having any knowledge of Wilkinson, and never having met her, she was upset with a local store that allowed me to put signs in the window. She entered that store telling the owner that he needed to remove the signs as she was in favor of raising the tax. When he did not comply, she contacted the building dept. and made false allegations about his parking lot not being up to code. He then was visited by the building inspector. Naturally nothing came of it because it was all political threatening.

While I was in front of city hall on the night that we were having the first car tax hearing, Mrs. Wilkinson had her friend Deb Schusterman, (who had just dropped her off at city hall) call 6:30 WPRO to the Matt Allen show and claim that I had just run Wilkinson's son off the road with my truck. By the way, WPRO was kind enough to copy the the content and deliver it to me on disc. I can let you hear it any time.

Wilkinson then wrote a letter to the editor in this newspaper claiming the same. Due to these slanderous allegations, I filed a slander suit against her and subpoenaed all of her e-mails. In fact, when I received her e-mails from the court I found numerous e-mails that she circulated through the city council and to other departments stating that I was a convicted felon and that I plead nolo to "numerous felony charges". Naturally none of this was true. Interestingly enough, one of her e-mails states that all of the people that attend the council meetings about the car tax issues are A** Holes. Her words, I have the e-mails that I can show you.

Does that sound like a person of character to you? A veteran? How many veterans do you know that have taken numerous steps to sequester the first amendment right of a resident? I can go in to great detail about what she has done that is detrimental to this community, but I wont bore you on this blog. However, Wilkinson panders to any special interest that she can squeeze a sympathy vote from. NRA, LGBT community, Veterans, etc... The fact of the matter is that as finance chair she has presided over huge plunders that no businessman would be a part of. Bear in mind, this city has an unfunded liability of 800 million, but Wilkinson was the architect of the "bait and switch" that took place last year preventing the taxpayers from questioning the actuaries.

This woman is a fraud and a danger to the first amendment and exemplifies everything that is wrong politically in our state and city. Having attended 90% of the council meetings in the last 6 years I can assure you that this woman is rotten to the core, cares nothing about anyone but herself interests, and will do anything or say anything to squeeze a vote. Just look at the time wasted and nonsense that she pulled with her on the table off the table legislation about a city wide forensic audit.

Im ready for that coffee, (or beer) whenever you are, and we can speak in detail.
