Condon attacks juvenile
If I can believe what The Spokesman-Review and Inlander are writing regarding recent events surrounding Mayor David Condon, I am appalled at the negative tone and the apparent use-this-as-a-way-to-slam-our-mayor theme that is occurring in headlines and articles.
It seems that the mistakes that occurred were that. Condon did not consult Human Resources, nor consult his legal team (or did his team, which must have had some wind of it, intervene with their opinions?).
Properly following protocol would have rendered this juvenile, opinionated media frenzy moot. Why not address the protocol issue and stop using this as a way to voice politically biased ideas? Where are all these haters when Condon’s actions are good for our city? The current grandiose, mean-spirited, unfocused attacks and negative barraging are not productive and, in fact, create a denseness of thought that creates more problems for all.
We all make mistakes. Let’s all of us give our mayor the professional courtesy to deal with this situation admirably instead of bombarding and attacking him into a corner.
