I might as well rephrase it as "how are you industry hacks going to convince the public you aren't a bunch of industry hacks?"<br />So far, 9/11 Truth Tucson's meeting place will continue to be at Ward 6. We have not been kicked out so let's assume there has been a "change of heart".Intercepthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03780885180607579873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595246785446634961.post-21732881861181074652010-01-05T02:13:45.628-08:002010-01-05T02:13:45.628-08:00Good questions, although the wording of #9 might m...Good questions, although the wording of #9 might mean you won't get a response. I heard about this today and it surprised me because I was talking with a bus driver who mentioned somewhat monumentally that "a recall" of these three was in the paper like it was big news, and I thought, oh, someone wrote an editorial or something, eh? But front page was it? Somehow it's big news that there's some campaign to oust these three? I guess you flash enough cash and have enough powerful people supporting you and you get in the paper? And why not Glassman or the others? Based on the video on the campaign's website, the members interviewed wanted rio nuevo downtown "done," because phoenix finished their "revitalization" already and "they're stealing our business." And almost all voiced their support for Steve (Kozachic) or "the Koz" and wanted candidates that would "raise the quality of jobs" and want to "keep their kids in tucson" because they moved from tucson for "greater opportunities," they won't take their friends downtown because they are embarassed and Tucson needs to "modernize itself" and one said Walkup, Ulrich and Romero don't fund police and fire enough to provide basic services. "The Koz" supported the "safety first initiative" and so do some of the supporters on the campaign's website, and he was also backed by Jim Click, southern arizona homebuilders' association, who also backed the "public safety first initiative." These guys seem like "growth culture" with powerful business backing trying to seize more political power. Just a guess, really. And the way that "The Koz" wants to kick out the local 9/11 Truth group from the ward 6 meeting space seems like politicization bordering on fascist.Mike Swansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13864466622108586152noreply@blogger.com
