It’s actually no surprise that the chief BS artist, Parks Director, Don Kearney is behind all this. Everything that comes out of his mouth is a load. He just got used to lying so much in the run up to the pool vote that it is second nature for him;
In fact, at least one reader thinks the city had been too pushy on mowing in the past. I took a call this morning from someone who saw today’s paper and wanted to say that the city used to keep the grass too short, especially during the driest parts of summer.
But even that guy wasn’t impressed by the city’s lack of transparency.
“The thing that really bothered me is that the parks director declined to give you a list,†he said.
Would the questions have disappeared if the city were more up front about the landscaping? Probably not.
But a little sunshine wouldn’t hurt.
If I were the next mayor, Don would be on my chopping block, and he can take Fiddle-Faddle, Turdbak, The Bride of Franken and a host of the other lying clowns that are the Huether circus.
