At no time did Mayor Jaworsky said "we'll deal with it in due time". That would have been fine. He said no before looking at the facts.I'm one of the 12 letter writers to whom he referred. I have no affiliation with TriTag. I simply used their form as linked to on this forum. And I'm cerrtainly under no delusion that the city will start clearing sidewalks any time soon.

If, on the other hand this is a pattern of dealing with people using strawmen and preconceptions instead of engaging the citizenry it will be a long four years for Dave.Early indications are that it's not an isolated gaffe. Consider his handling of Bob Maven's objections to closed-door budget discussions. IMO that was an even more serious gaffe, especially for a politician who campaigned for more open and transparent government.
Still, I'm receptive to giving Jaworksy some slack--if he starts to show signs that he's worthy.
