Saw the marvelous article in the Daily Blat on Tuesday and was not really surprised. When the Civil Suit finally dropped out in the Monday media, it was as I had already noted to some that it would be part and parcel of a two week accumulation as was done the last time I had to file a case. That way instead of being one of a few, it becomes one of many and more likely to be overlooked by those who should be catching it; like the folks in Vienna.
I have not yet gotten my response from Mr. Rapp's alleged personal defense attorney who is paid as a City Attorney but in actuality is what I have just noted. And we, the tax payers pay both their salaries as he is defended against the people he supposedly represents. It would seem that the case is to be tried in the media?
As for the alleged journalist that wrote the article, yes, I did run for Mayor in 2016 and yes, I did come in third. And so? I did not file until after the second case was filed a few days earlier and I had had enough of Mr. Rapp and his seemingly continual willingness to break any Law or Ordinance that he does not agree with? We are now back to that position again.
But as was noted in 2016 was the City Council choosing the coward's way out in denying a Primary Vote in May of 2016 to protect the incumbents from facing voters and some of them possibly loosing at that time? Then we moved on to August when Mr. Rapp and Ms. Smith got caught allegedly fooling with the Ballot positioning drawing. There were several complaints filed with the State Attorney on that and as it is State Law that the results are not advised, one can not get the results of an investigation. So they may have gotten a "job well done" to a "shame on you" only? State Law is not big on punishing Elected or Appointed wrongdoer's.
Than we can move down to the shutting down the voting line on the first day of early voting because it was 4:00 PM. When this was noted to the State Attorney's Office, the initial response was that Mr. Rhodes denied it happened. When I asked if the State wanted the name of the two people watching from across the street, no further reply back from them. Mr. Rhodes did finally note a few days later that for the main voting, "if you are in line, you will be allowed to vote". Maybe the Truth finally came out as it is prone to do?
Then, I noted my allegations that the early votes had been tampered with at the City location or while in the possession of voting poll workers? At that time, I noted that it may well have been Mr. Azinger who was the true loser in the deal and still question that?
So the current attempt to cover for Mr. Rapp based on the past Election have no merit other than a feeble CYA for him.
So if there is anything else, the media wants to know, they can also remember that I do not talk to them as they had been caught changing my comments before. As I noted to Mr. Boucher in last 3 Novembers attempt to get me in the what passed for a fair and open interview that I had changed my mind. He asked me if I had ever been interviewed by a TV Station? I replied yes, one in Seattle Washington (million and a half viewing area).
He said that this was not Seattle; I said I know which is why I was changing my mind. I for one know the difference between P'burg and the real media World in a big market area.
Was asked again why Mr. Elam had missed another Council Meeting? I don't know and nothing is being said. It seems we are at 1 out of 8? Another person said maybe he had not realized what he was getting into when he ran? Now I am combining two different conversations where the only common person was myself- so two separate talks. The first person said " I voted for him and expect him to be there to represent me". The second comment surprised me some as the person was also a staunch Elam supporter. But I would suspect that the Truth will be outed in time as it usually is? 'nuff said'.
