It was repeated to me because it was so funny - something pithy about Ms. Mussmann "selling out the waterfront." <br /><br />If my own comment lacks humor, then the same public figure who's the object of both quips is richly deserving of criticism for hypocrisy and self-serving. <br /><br />Since 2006 Ms. Mussmann has continued to sell out the waterfront for her own interests (e.g., relentlessly repeating the Colarusso company narrative that city streets are required for truck transport when it's more accurate to say that the company is practicing a form of extortion, abusing our streets to leverage city permission for its expansion plans. Even now the mayor is foolishly weighing compromise ideas when the city is in a position of strength. Incredible, right? By what does Ms. Mussmann care as long as the trucks are no longer driving in front of TSL?) <br /><br />And therein lies the relevance of the public's well-founded suspicions, and perhaps the odd smarmy joke.unheimlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204285837938988668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-87504431902853089532018-11-29T12:33:05.784-05:002018-11-29T12:33:05.784-05:00how is that smarmy comment helpful or even relevan...how is that smarmy comment helpful or even relevant?BILLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06165652134301551300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-38256739076574620922018-11-29T09:21:58.326-05:002018-11-29T09:21:58.326-05:00Oh joy, Ms. Mussmann has discovered nature.Oh joy, Ms. Mussmann has discovered nature.unheimlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204285837938988668noreply@blogger.com
