Helps was on CFAX this morning and stated that the request to remove surface parking and replace it with low cost housing came from the community and that she was just following through on the good idea.
Was the CFAX interviewer on his toes enough to ask her exactly where in the community this supposed "request" came from?
Exactly how it was presumably transferred from the "community" to her ears?
Did the CFAX interviewer perhaps ask her, why ... with downtown crime rampant, and assaults and drug issues occurring all over town every single day in the COV, ... why she thought this surface parking idea might be worthy of her pointless "Headline of the Day"?
This is classic deflection by a politician ... experience a little negative feedback on a stupid idea, and claim you were only repeating what ___________________ (fill in the blank) - was saying ... all the while completely ignoring the actual problems and issues of concern to residents and taxpayers.
