It just seems to me that this Mayor is operating from a default position of secrecy, disclosing information only when forced to. Rich Lord claims/suggests that the Mayor is not keeping a tally of things given to him, such as sporting event tickets. And Lord has a direct quote “"If there's any violation, which I don't believe that there is, then I need to be made aware of it," he said.”, referencing the value to his campaign of city mailed literature. <BR/><BR/>There is that saying in law: Res Ipsa Loquitur. The thing speaks for itself. <BR/><BR/>If the Mayor wants to get rich, he should go into business. Public service, at least in the internet age, means saying no to free stuff, no to taking advantage of public resources and no to concealing expenses.EdHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09109361235271107574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-39791336847340457822007-03-21T11:27:00.000-04:002007-03-21T11:27:00.000-04:00Yes, I posted on the THREE LIES that were document...Yes, I posted on the <B>THREE LIES</B> that were <B>documented in the MSM</B> <A HREF="http://2politicaljunkies.blogspot.com/2007/03/l-scooter-ravenstahl-third-documented.html" REL="nofollow">here</A> and called into Marty Griffin's show yesterday to tell him that there were <B>THREE LIES</B>.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10439330154875628083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-83640542515702862142007-03-21T11:00:00.000-04:002007-03-21T11:00:00.000-04:00By the by, everybody, I would like to point out th...By the by, everybody, I would like to point out that this is not the second instance of Luke lying to a reporter and having to admit his lie later, but the third.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.pittsburghcitypaper.ws/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A24054" REL="nofollow">The forgotten lie.</A>McArdlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01923386080970199032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-85488063064719556712007-03-21T10:52:00.000-04:002007-03-21T10:52:00.000-04:00Good work on assembling these.Good work on assembling these.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-22874492519919874742007-03-21T09:22:00.000-04:002007-03-21T09:22:00.000-04:00The Trib did not create the pattern of LIES that L...The Trib did not create the pattern of <A HREF="http://2politicaljunkies.blogspot.com/2007/03/l-scooter-ravenstahl-third-documented.html" REL="nofollow">LIES</A> that Luke has told.<BR/><BR/>Nor did they hold a gun to the heads of the P-G, KDKA, WTAE.
