After coming out pretty strongly pro-tollroad a few weeks ago — after going on Facebook to solicit feedback he read about as closely as I do terms of service agreements –Â now Mayor Rawlings is like, hold up, wait a minute. Kind of confusing. Let me clear that up.
Original position: "You know, I'm not sure what I think about the tollroad. What do YOU guys think? Also, anyone got any spare Farmville credits?"Secret second position: "Wait -- that many people are against it? Innnnnteresting. What? Well, when did I decide I was for it? I always have? Why did we bother with the whole Facebook thing? Hey Frank -- can we delete this post without anyone noticing? No. Well what *do* I pay you for? Yes, I know handling requests from Wilonsky is a full-time job. Fine. What? Yes -- meat lover's, of course." Actual second position: "We can all agree that traffic is very bad and a very select few of us can agree, kind of, that this road will save us all, maybe. Right? Right? COME ON. Who wants pizza?"Current position: "Well, why didn't you tell me that before I made the dang speech, huh? Scott? Angela? ARE YOU GUYS NOT ON FACEBOOK OR WHAT? Jeez."
