"Cowardice asks the question...is it safe? Expediency asks the question...is it politic? Vanity asks the question...is it popular? But conscience asks the question...is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because it is right." ~Dr. Martin Luther King

Two New Sources of Information.

I have heard it  now from two  more sources.  Direction given to staff by Council on September 14th behind closed doors was to retain external legal counsel to discover what, if anything, could be done about an anonymous comment critical of the Mayor  posted in a blog.

I am inclined to believe it was  neither the intention or the direction of  all the Councillors present to give notice of  intent to sue for $6million damages to three families in the community ..

It is not what I read in the record.

It is not my place to defend them or make excuses for them.

They must speak up as individuals for themselves. No-one else can do it for them.

For the sake of their own families and the three injured families,  I would advise them to do so.

Do you think that if the resolution had been more specific, i.e. to sue 3 taxpayers who allegedly moderate a blog, the vote would have been the same?
