Dear Gordian.

N.Y. was a bad analogy. It is an incorrect spin on the subject of the Donna Travis' situation.

You should be bold enough to say you don't think the city council should take Donna Travis' education, her attack on the 1st amendment, her inability to present articulated arguements on a variety of subjects as other members do, or even her personal life into consideration when they vote the next council president. Period.

It's Rob Cote's position that it matters.

It's yours that it doesn't.

That doesn't make Cote wrong for doing it.

What Donna Travis brings or doesn't bring to the table should be considered but the powers that want her on the seat don't want any - speed bumps or snags.

People should make up their own mind if they agree or disagree with Rob's presentation of details. And if they have anything to do with her 'qualifications" for council president.

In the political world it matters.

If Travis was put side by side with others on the city council she would lose. That's what Rob did. That's Rob's point. He compared her for purpose of the election.

If you want to argue some of the details were too personal, I am unsympathetic,- she stonewalls Joe Public on the Mayor's behalf and she VOTED THE TAXPAYER DOWN when they clearly wanted to be heard!

So no, I don't think he was too personal.

SteveD,

The public doesn't even turn out for the Mayor denying the new actuatrial report to be released to the public. At the last council meeting, the council allowed the Mayor's veto to stand by voting just for that. A vote said let his veto stand that the financial actuarial report stay hidden.

The taxpayers have been stonewalled enough times that they don't turn out for anything.

What Cote did to get people into the chambers was unblievable and you have no clue much less care of that achievement.

Not only can the public not see the report for themself, YOU can't as well. And if the city finances get worse, the opportunity to make the corrections pass by just like central Falls. The years before they went belly up nothing was done. The taxpayers are always kept at bay away from the truth. Corrections have to be made early but if corrections create snags in a Mayors political career they are kept secret.. If I'm wrong the actuatiral reports would surely shut me up right?
