Peter Imes’ opinion concerning the audit was right on, especially after reading opinions from the pro-audit seekers reminded me of how one group is trying to overshadow another. In this case (let’s call it what it is) ridiculous. First, if the newly-elected mayor thinks that he is going to get everything going in the direction he wants, he should think again. There are people on the city council who have their opinions. In other words, they are not puppets you pull and control. I am very proud of them for voicing their opinion. The year is 2021, not 1921. Second, why is your way the right way? Are you going to call in the dogs every time your opinion is not acted on? I noticed the Republicans coming to your defense. An audit has been conducted and Shad White can not assure that another would uncover anything different. The money used on another audit could be used more wisely. I also noticed some of the residents calling for the audit are the same ones that have been complaining about the condition of the street and streets flooding when it rains. They are the ones that were complaining during the last administration. In my opinion, they think they have (in boxing terms) gotten the white hope.
Call it like it is, and I am not afraid to say that the reason for all the bickering is the four council people are different ethnic groups. People want to dance around the truth rather than meeting it head-on. It would be a better place to live if everyone would speak what is a fact. I am probably writing this in vain, but it feels good to let someone know that there is one person in Columbus that is not afraid of being Politically Correct
