Matt Czajkowski criticized the OCDP in the October 31, 2009 News & Observer:
Czajkowski lamented ... an Orange County
Democratic Party voter drive when Kleinschmidt is the only Democrat in
the nonpartisan mayor's race. "How do you put a value on the resources
of the Orange County Democratic Party?" said Czajkowski, an
unaffiliated voter. "This is all supposed to be how Chapel Hill leads
when it comes to democracy?"
The rules for this post are none-say whatever you like (leave Ruby alone).Why I am NOT voting for Matt C.:Fred Black has said we shouldn’t be talking about values in this election, but I think we should. For example, let’s take a look at Mr. Czajkowski’s values:He says he loves downtown Chapel Hill,But he has promised not to move the homeless shelter out of downtown.“unless there is a complete level of comfort that crime isn't an issue” – M Czajkowski, CH News 10/18/2009“which I don't think can be achieved." – M Czajkowski CHN 10/18/2009He wants to expand Chapel Hill’s commercial taxbase,But he opposes East54. CHN 2/18/2009He wants to make development easier,But he is critical of high-density developments like Greenbridge,Except that he supports Zinn’s high density development in a wildlife protection area.I am NOT voting forDeHart because I heard him say that he thought his children should be able to play in the road. This has been a pet peeve of mine since I was on the counciland I heard countless people justify some concern or the other based on their children playing in the road. I raised three kids on Cameron Ave. and RosemarySt.
In attempt to restore sanity to the endorsements thread, I'm taking my response to the comments about comments over here.
Cam's comment was posted around 7pm and the first time I saw it was around
11am the next day, at which point I took it down and responded to Fred's comment. I am just not as obsessive about reading the site as some folks are, and that's OK with me. I don't plan to do much more responding to him because I just don't have the time and it doesn't seem productive in any way.
I still don't understand why some people who claim to have such problems with this web site spend so much time here. For example, as of this moment Fred has posted 305 comments on OP in the past year, more than any other user of the site.
