Kearney Mayor Paul "I'm just one cake-hole" Tomlinson has been trying so hard to prove that he's still Big Man on Campus, that he's developed a severe case of foot-in-mouth disease. Most recently, Tomlinson felt the need to demonstrate what a big man he is by running his mouth publicly about several confidential matters, such as bragging to the Almaguin News that he personally fired the previous town clerk, openly lamenting in the Iron Skillet restaurant about having to put a town employee (and repeatedly using her name) in her place and how she had the audacity to file bullying and harassment charges against him. (So much for any sincerity in that apology, eh Paul?) Now, again in the Almaguin News, Mayor Tomlinson decided to out Councillor Barry Dingwall’s emotional problems.
In the January 24, 2013 Almaguin News article, "Debate procedure one of many items under debate" Mayor Tomlinson states, "I would be loath to limit debate. Councillor Dingwall would be reaching for his Valium..."
What is Valium? Valium (diazepam) is used to treat anxiety disorders, as well as other medical problems such as alcohol withdrawal symptoms or seizures, but in the context of the interview we can assume that Mayor Tomlinson was referring to an anxiety disorder. We hope.
As a side-note, we were disappointed to learn that Being-A-Dick wasn't listed as a disorder that Valium will effectively treat.
So, it seems Councillor Dingwall has some mental health issues that are serious enough to be considered when creating council policy. We already suspected this, but thank-you Mayor Tomlinson for your continued openness and transparency about Councillor Dingwall’s ongoing mental health issues. It's troubling, but we should just be relieved to know that the mayor doesn't seem to be openly worried that any of our other elected leaders could snap at any moment.
Are you surprised?
