I always thought it would be close.
I was wrong.
Big money wins again. Think about it, the Rec center failed, and there was no money behind the YES vote.
This is sort of a relief though, I don’t think I have the stomach for another debate down the line.
I promised the mayor ‘no sour grapes’ and there won’t be any from me. I have said all along if this is what the voters want, have at it.
But I will be clear about one thing, transparency and openness needs to return to city hall. And I will continue to watch.
