The day’s almost done. I’ve had too much coffee to drink. My bladder’s full. So whatever. Let’s jump to find out why Jim’s proud of himself for posting my personal e-mail to Angela Hunt:
Here’s the background to get you up to speed: two weeks ago, in the run-up to the City Secretary’s decision on whether TrinityVote got enough valid petitions to call a referendum, I heard noise from connected people (and not just connected to the other side) that TrinityVote was going to come up short. I posted same. I was clear that it was rumor-level intel.
This morning, in reading the Observer‘s Unfair Park, I learned that Angela Hunt might put together a meeting with TxDOT and NTCOG and others to get some questions answered about the Trinity road. Through all this, Hunt has proven to be a reasonable and receptive person, so I dropped her a note. Hey, I said. If that meeting comes to fruition, let me know. I’d like to attend.
That’s your background. Now comes Jim Schutze, seemingly rubbing his alt-weekly hands together with glee at having obtained my note to Hunt and her response, which I thought was really funny. So funny, in fact, that I replied to Hunt and told her I will vote for her when she runs for mayor — just because she’s so funny.
To Jim I say: I will still hire you when you’re ready. I will continue to wait (scroll down).
To Hunt I say: you were proud of your response to my e-mail, weren’t you? So you forwarded it to Schutze? Is that it? I forgive you. Because, again, it was a good response, one worthy of sharing. Oh, and just one more thing: all these great questions you are now posing to TxDOT? You should have had answers to those questions a long time ago. Because putting up a blog post without all the information is one thing, but calling a referendum without all the information is another thing altogether.
