Integrity in the Face of Iniquity

We wish to offer a strong and heartfelt appreciation to Councilman Kiester for courageously speaking the truth and thereby confronting the vacuous majority.

Consider these words from Robert Kennedy: “Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change.”

You are dead-on: an ill-conceived, ill-managed, ill-designed project is now being accelerated for no other purpose than to make it a fait accompli. The result of the acceleration is to shield the instigators of this white elephant by the effects of time with the intended consequence of inflicting maximum damage to this community.

You are a man of integrity, virtue, honesty and unwavering in your beliefs. Hence you realized the tact and called it what it is.

Expect the fusty character assassinations by the Hate Slate and the city’s tentacles in the media. But when it comes, wear it like a badge of honor.

While at times it seems as if you are drowning in the propaganda put forth by those around you, we understand. Don’t let our silence fool you like it has fooled the fools around you.

Don’t worry Mr. Kiester, for unbeknownst to the rest of the council and the city management, the cavalry is coming in many forms, and its coming real soon.

So hang in there!

Thank you!
