Mayor Sharon: Another promise made. Another promise broken?




From the Mayor's press release of 2/2/09 (click to enlarge).

For Plainfielder's wondering about Mayor Robinson-Briggs' support of the proposed pension deferral plan, a mystery emerges.

Has the Mayor broken her promise to Plainfielders that 'the community will be fully apprised about this proposal and recommendation'?

After Robinson-Briggs gave effusive verbal remarks in support of the plan at the Council's February 2 agenda session, Her Honor's ace staff posted a press release on the City's website (see here, PDF), telling the whole world that the Mayor would provide a document 'to address any questions' at the Council's next meeting.

That would have been February 9. Yesterday's Council session at Washington Community School.

No document I could spot.

Meanwhile, checking back at the City's online calendar -- where Her Honor had her already publicly announced February 25 Community Forum hastily posted after I noted it was NOT on the calendar -- I discover that is has now been 'RESCHEDULED' (see here) -- I will refrain from saying CANCELLED.





From the City's online calendar 2/10/09.


What gives, promiser-in-chief?

A good example of a politician that can talk to the talk but can't walk the walk
