Three weeks ago Rosie Garner attacked some of us on Council in the Sentinel and I responded two weeks ago.  Now we have more.

I’m not going to argue over the vacant city positions I discussed two weeks ago in response to her.  I stood before the residents of Ward Four, including her, on the 6th, and stated the same information.  I will respond to her new allegation in the Sentinel concerning the departed city engineer.

I am not going to use his name for a reason as you will soon see.  For several years I have criticized his judgment and common sense in developing city construction projects including the “park” along west 104th avenue. 

On August 13th I was surprised to receive an email from him in which he proposed leaving under two conditions.  I agreed to them personally and relayed his request to the Council.  The Council found the nature of the requests out of the ordinary and referred them to the Acting City Manager without recommendation or prejudice.  They came to an arrangement without any interference, Rosie, and you knew that.

My part of the personal deal related to my various blog postings over the years.  I agreed and subsequently took his name out of all of them in order to protect his career from the search engines.

Rosie’s letter mentioning the engineer’s departure really shocked me because he and she have been very close for years.  She abused their friendship and put him into the spotlight just to attack me.  What a friend.
