Francis Mayor's Front Page Mess!!

Francis Friends,
Have you seen the Mayors article on the FRONT PAGE of Park Record??
I am sickened by it! First of all, it is very one-sided reporting on the Hilltop issue from the Mayor only.
Second, the reporter NEVER INTERVIEWED ME for this article yet includes quotes from "Kristi Major".
Third, the Mayor calls us "political activists" and that whatever one does the rest follows. I don't know about you but I find that extremely offensive.
And this, from the group who obviously felt compelled to pull all the Hilltop signs out of MY yard and throw them in the ditch! Very childish indeed.

What do you think?
Kristi

EXCERPTS FROM ARTICLE:
Bergen lamented that the referendum is likely to pass, which means the intersection would stay open."That doesn't eliminate us from having to do something about the road," Bergen said. "Whether it's speed bumps or a one way, whatever we do with that road to try to protect ourselves, they're not going to like it." [REALLY? Did he even ASK US what we like or dont like? What is obvious to everyone but the Mayor is that we DONT LIKE the road closed!]
The mayor dismissed the most vocal critics as "political activists."
"What one does, the other one backs," Bergen said.
