Imagine again.<BR/><BR/>And, imagine what he said to the PG editors is in conflict to what he says to the neighborhood groups.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure I can take Burgess at his word. We couldn't take Twanda Carlise at her word. We can't trust city council. We can't trust them with our money. I'm going to be right more than not by being skeptical. <BR/><BR/>And, I'm sorta careful as to what I post. I care.

You stated that it is an unfair characterization to call David Adams polarizing, but does he have plan for improving the quality of life in all the 9th council districts? Additionally, one of Adams major initiatives is "cultural pride." Is that meant for all of district 9s neighborhoods?<BR/><BR/>2. I believe Rev. Burgess has agree to participate in a debate later this month, so saying he won't show up for a debate is a bold-face lie.<BR/><BR/>3. You say Rev. Burgess is engaging in double speak, but how would you know that? Do you live in the neighborhoods in the 9th district? have you been in meeting were Rev. Burgess has been contradictory? I may be mistaken, but I would imagine not. <BR/><BR/>4. Can you take Burgess at his word? If the man says he wants to build a relationship between communities, community stake holders, and the police, who are you to say that he is lying?<BR/><BR/>In the future, please be a little more careful about your characterizations of our cities residents and candidates.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
