He and I have exchanged a few emails about this, and I haven't backed down from it, nor will I. He heard the Finance director say it at a pre-council work session and thought it was a great idea. Sad part is, he is a really nice man- but a boob none the less.
We are constantly hawked by the press, and they just love to get trash on us, so they would light him up with this. As much controversy as he has been in the past 16 months, if the media got a hold of this it would cost him his job.
