Everyone has been very quite when it comes to the Chamber of Commerce and the Tom Ramiccio incident. Oh, there's been a lot of rumbling but no action. It was reprehensible but if the merchants who are members can’t give their own sanctions or demonstrate in protest of his action, then why should the rest of us get involved?
Everyone has been mighty quiet on the Retha Lowe elections violations. Why is that? Is everyone really that scared to ask her to step down? Javier, a citizen with whom I rarely agree, stood up for principle at the City Commission meeting and spoke out chastising Commissioner Lowe. He was right. All the rest of us were wrong for being silent.
Both the above actions were wrong. Ms. Lowe’s was more serious.
