BERLIN -- Looking to quiet what he referred to as a “whispering campaign” by political enemies, Berlin Mayor Gee Williams spoke out Monday at a Mayor and Council meeting about rumors that he said have recently been circulating in the community portraying him as a reckless alcoholic.
“I don’t know if I should be flattered or offended by these rumors because for them to be true I would have to be a 64-year old superman, and one of the most influential elected public figures in the nation to cover up all of these rumors,” Williams said.
There actually only seems to be one rumor, continued Williams, but one that is animated and constantly changing in reaction to facts coming to light.
“The rumor has evolved into different versions all based on the allegation that I have an out-of-control drinking problem that has resulted in serious misbehavior or illegal actions on my part in recent months or possibly on New Year’s Eve,” the mayor said.

They've got the wrong city and the wrong mayor.
That explains his erratic behavior.Now it all makes perfect sense.
I know he plays favorites and helps out his buddies, but I never knew about him being a lush. Then again, I don't hang out with the guy nor do I want to.
I'm not a fan of Williams either but if this were true he is correct it would be all over town and beyond and I've not heard this. Not only that but in this day and age pictures would be floating around on Facebook and emails.
Maybe Jim Ireton should do this. Just confront the rumors about Mojo's and explain he did not do what he is accused of. There cannot be witnesses to something he didn't do.
10:52-They are floating around on the internet,but not on facebook specifically.
