Dist. B Democrats – launching attacks, not solutions.Posted: Wednesday, June 18, 2008 Dist. B Democrats – launching attacks, not solutions. With regards to the change in the taxi stand at the SoNo RR, it seems that Dist. B Democrats are working overtime to exploit this as a MAJOR issue. District B Democrat Chairman, Bobby Burgess is clearly taking the lead on this but what “hat” is he wearing, what are his motives? One cannot be sure if this issue is close to his heart or closer to his wallet. It has been reported that is representing a cab company in this dispute with the city. Does that now make him an unregistered lobbyist? Does he also have a “conflict of interest” as he may now have a financial motive? We continue to read about his complaints, but have read nothing of about any solutions. And are all of these real issues or factious ones, designed only to inflame people who only hear one side of the story. The other day, I happened to take a co-worker of my wife down to train station. I was interested to see the new configuration that I had read so much about and wanted to decide for myself if the change was reasonable. I had also heard people complaining at a meeting that “not even a fire truck could get through” with the new taxi line in place. So I was interested to see for myself. As I turned into the SONO RR driveway, I took a good look around and witnessed that we were able to drop off my wife’s co-worker without any problems whatsoever and that the statements made about “not enough space for a fire truck or ambulance to get by” was totally false. The only truth is that a false allegation immediately puts the other party on the defense. That is clearly what Mr. Burgess is striving to do by attacking Mayor Moccia for trying to bring positive change to the SONO RR. Change was not done for the sake of change; it was done because of the complaints raised by citizens and users of the RR station. Other claims Mr. Burgess has recently made about what the city “ruled” are so outlandish, it has now become clear to me what hat Mr. Burgess is wearing.
