WHEN HARM IS INTENDED WITH MALICE AFORETHOUGHT

Whether made anonymously, an accusation is equally damaging. 

Who has vested interest in bringing Tom Mrakas down save someone threatened by his honesty.
An accusation without substance has been made. Should it remain unchallenged? 

We know who is capable because he's done it before. We experienced it. 

It doesn't matter why he did it. Only that he did. Consequences  are outstanding. 

In life, lessons learned have stood me in good stead. 

I trust everyone. 
Until they give me reason not to. 
Then I never trust them again. 
It's a simple maxim. 
Let them show themselves. 
They mostly do. 

When trust is betrayed and it will be, don't dwell on it. Life is too short.
Pick yourself up,dust yourself off and start all over again.  
Sooner or later opportunity presents to even the score. You will know it when you see it.  
Payback is sweet. 

By living, I learned to enjoy life,take chances and eventually had the privilege to participate in politics without fear or trepidation. 

I did it my way and found others to share. 
Sufficient  to obtain a seat on Council and for our voices to be a force through several generations. 
Satisfaction enough. 
No other reward needed. 
A reputation jointly established and shared
A community within a community.

It happened once, it can happen again in Aurora. 
Not with John Abel.

    Sooo long before the next election. I think it must be tough working at our town hall and not just because the individual
    who selected most of the staff has left the place.

    You should send a copy of this post to every present or would-be politician in the country.

    If they emulated your life our lives would be far easier and more satisfactory.

    Keep up the good thoughts and deeds.

    You are such a bloody hypocrite. You make accusations all over the place - some of which landed you in a lawsuit - you might want to tread a little more careful. The comment sounded like they were poking at you, not Tom.

      Evelyn has always landed on the right side. The side that has no regrets. The side with integrity. How many can say that?

    If you did not write the comment, you cannot know what ' they ' were doing.
    Who do you think is ' they ' ? What is a 'they ' ?

    Maybe the subject could be changed ?
    We could discuss that republican candidate that want to put a wall along the Canadian/USA border ?
    Maybe someone can explain if the wall is to keep us in or them in ?

    The Town and its residents were on the losing side.

    A number of good candidates were not elected. There were also a couple of weirdos. It has nothing to do with being right or wrong.
    Unfortunately there were two distinct camps and Evelyn was not in either one.

    11:14- Unfortunately about 30% of the electorate voted, so the camps were extremely small all around.

    Not an uncommon position for her.
