Nothing New Here

The Proudfoot Four have never taken responsibility for any of their mistakes, such as the horrendous 2012 budget, poor town maintenance, deferred road work year after year, posting of videos and photographs of private citizens with disparaging statements, chasing away volunteers, killing charity contributions while giving themselves pay raises, inciting hatred, publicly referring to citizens as "trash" or "disgusting", waiving fees and environmental impact studies for friends, creating silly by-laws that end up rescinded, double-dipping on building inspections, and so on, and so on.

So it's no surprise that the Proudfoot Four (Mayor Paul Tomlinson, and councillors Dingwall, Sainsbury, and Wadsworth) jumped at the opportunity to blame the Concerned Citizens of Kearney blog for the town's woes. Just like the original budget's problems were "the previous treasurer's fault", then the revised budget's problems were "a computer glitch". Then there's the budget meeting where a taxpayer was dragged out by police for trying to videotape the auditor critique of the budget. When it was revealed that videotaping meetings is permitted and that Deputy Mayor Wadsworth had no right to have the man removed, did she apologize? Did she acknowledge her mistake? Nope. She blamed the town staff. Did Mayor Tomlinson, who stuck his tongue in the man's face and encouraged the expulsion, apologize? Nope. He blamed Wadsworth. Don't believe our "lies"?
