Mayor Ireton Draws In Small Crowd For Press Conference

If you were to take away all of the City employees you'd find a very small crowd leftover to listen to the Mayor spew his hate towards the majority of the City Council.

The Mayor stated he listened to the tape from last nights meeting where he said the only reason the Council President turned the plan down was because of trash. Well Jim, let's be specific here for a moment. The Council President, (since you said you listened two times) actually said the RESIDENTS on the Plaza have a trash issue. Yet you stood there without ONE single resident and impressed upon the crowd Mrs. Cohen was talking about the business owners. So get your facts straight and quit lying to people.

It doesn't matter to Jim Ireton though Folks because the rest of the BS Press, (not MSM, now called BS Press) will simply produce whatever this guy says. In fact Mayor Ireton stood there and actually BEGGED the Press to go to the Council Members homes and demand an interview on this matter. Jim, I really hope they do because the public will actually get the truth, unless they edit out what the Council Members say.

The Mayor went on to beg people to come to his Office or come find Laura Mitchell to sign a new petition they will be starting against the Council majority. STOP acting like a little girl Jim, seriously. Just because you don't get your way doesn't mean you stomp your feet and go running home to Mommy. He stated that they have worked very hard on this plan for the past two years. NO JIM< you have even admitted that you STOLE the plan from as far back as 30 years ago, YOU did NO hard work on it at all. You just wanted something to throw in the Council's face once again. If it WASN'T good enough 30 years ago it certainly isn't worth a crap today.

The biggest thing that bothered me was when the Mayor turned to Public Works and Planning and Zoning and demanded their staff come into his Office and sign the petition. THAT is abuse of power! Beside the fact that the majority of people there were City Employees, (once again) and the FACT that we taxpayers are PAYING out of our pocket every single time you don't get your way and or want to make it look like people like you, you bring in as much of the City staff as humanly possible.

You have to wonder Jim, did your parents stick a pork chop around your neck just to get the family dog to play with you?

A good Mayor, a true professional would have said, Ladies & Gentlemen, I must not have worked hard enough to impress this Council that this is a good idea. I will not give up and with your support together we can perhaps dig a little deeper, listen to both sides and make this thing work. TRY IT SOME TIME JIMMY, YOU MIGHT JUST LIKE IT.
