LOOKING BACK. Only a coward does this kind of hatchet job anonymously. And, what family chasing a bigger pay check do YOU think it was aimed at helping?

The website, during the election went below my radar, but I am certain there was a group among whom it was known. Strictly a hatchet job, and by a coward.

Who did this, and more interstingly, with whose blessing and hopes? What it was, I believe, was someone from Steffen's own political party, knifing her in the back. Go figure. Who gained? Who called City of Ramsey buying the monstrosity out of foreclosure a "success" and then before history could write the true story, quit on the purchase to chase other things?

Still online, this link.

Criticism of a politician is fair. Put the credibility of your name behind the criticism, however, unless your name has no credibility. It is that simple.

Moreover, look at the batch of amateur wannabe-developers playing gambling games with taxpayer money, (that part of it they are not giving to Landform); and there has to be The Question.

_____________UPDATE________________
It is curious how all the things leveled as criticism at Steffen (and others), are being trumped in great measure by the successors on Ramsey's council, those moving in after the folks criticized on that blog - and moving in with stated intentions to do things "conservatively."

Competing repeatedly with the private sector, including the latest thought to enter into banking, how is that "conservative?"

This is not, "doomed to repeat the mistakes of history" these days by this council four-man majority; it is jumping at the opportunity.

____________FURTHER UPDATE_____________
Here is the latest post from that blog site, (this one dated), and it is post primary where there were then only two candidates; as the last sentence acknowledges [screenshot taken and posted because some things do get scrubbed from the web under some circumstances].


I admit I have not fully studied that hatchet-job site [being no hound for punishment], but from what I scanned, that closing sentence IS the only one I recall seeing mentioning any of Steffen's opponents, three pre-primary, her vs. Look in the general election.

And that site was not ever handled in any real context of comparison and contrast; it was strictly an attack job and nothing else, from the get-go. It shows unthinking hubris to not have taken down the site once the election was over.

Readers, help me, who was it on a facebook page that coined the term "casino train"? I'd have to go back through a bunch of saved screenshots to pin that down as a certainty. It's a terminology I have not encountered in any wide context, facebook, this closing website post, I cannot recall seeing it elsewhere.
