Spin and hypocrisy? City Council incumbents Barovsky and Stern have accused their opponents of political spin. And, when I spoke in opposition to the City Council’s unanimous vote to put the self-serving Measure U on the ballot, for my effort, I was publicly called a hypocrite by Council Member Ken Kearsley. Neither Barovsky nor Stern objected.
Now, with two past stories once again dominating the latest news, I ask you: who is spinning and who are the hypocrites? When the City failed to properly comply with the requirements to obtain $8 to $10 million in available state grant money to obtain the Chili Cook-Off site, incumbents Barovsky and Stern, who had said all along that they wanted these grants, suddenly changed the story to say they would rather have the money for park construction because the rents on the Chili commercial property would cover the City’s indebtedness for the purchase.
