Thank You Mr. O'Brien
First I’d like to thank Mr. O’Brien for his contribution to Gilfordgrok. We always welcome opinions of differing views, especially, a post as lively as his. I like to let a posted opinion stay on top for more viewing until at least the next day before responding.
He brings up several good points worth discussing. Unfortunately, his post is a rambling hate filled rant that contains so many incorrect assertions that a response would be very long and time consuming. I will however address the actual point of my original post. Just for Mr. O’Brien’s clarification, the point; my surprise in his “yes” vote to add more spending to fund another school sports program. I was surprised because his vote didn’t square with the views that he expressed to me in person.
I’m now concerned that it’s actually worse than I originally thought. Mr. O'brien is telling us that before the long scheduled Budget Committee “discussion”, on Lacrosse, he didn’t know the Lacrosse program was for both boys and girls, has attracted 70 students, their grades are improving and they will provide their own equipment.
It appears I truly have mischaracterized the man because I serious thought he was more researched on Budget committee topics before the meetings. I suppose holding up a moist finger and checking the political winds works just as well for some elected officials.
