Mary: My Pants Aren’t On Fire

At OpenCDA.com, Mary Souza has an interesting post re: her contention that Finance Director Troy Tymesen has plans to replace the tennis courts at McEuen Field with a two-story parking garage. Seems her source was Steve Adams (pictured), an unsuccessful challenger for a City Council position in last fall's election. Adams backed up Mary's contention by going to the council meeting last night and claiming that Tymesen had said he had the plans after the Jan. 19 council meeting. And that he'd passed that information along to Souza at a Reagan Republicans meeting later in January. Tymesen wasn't at the meeting last night. Then, according to Souza's newsletter, Adams asked that Mayor Sandi Bloem public apologize to Souza for suggesting that she'd lied about the situation. Bloem didn't. Souza finishes with a nasty slap at the mayor: "She lacks the professional integrity we need in our public officials." You can read it all here

Question: What do you make of this latest twist in our city by the lake?
