Deborah Brehony Defender Intervenes
Today at this post, in the comments section, someone wrote this:
"Stop the Deborah Brehony attacks on this site. It get us no where. It reminds me of Maud tactics."
Another reader responded:
"This is an ineffectual and pathetic request on a medium such as this public blog. You can't stop or manicure the 'discussion' if you expect others to visit and participate. I recommend you refute anything you disagree with or believe to be unwarranted and let the chips fall where they may."
It is worth noting that this site recently posted this comment on Brehony. Bottom line, Brehony is at the end of the day a politician seeking public approval. She deserves a thorough 'once over' just like any other would be political leader in this community. She knows she is welcomed to post here at any time unfiltered and unedited as she has in the past.

Much of this discussion is manipulated by people trying to put forth an agenda. Don't be so naive as to think this is just a bunch of disconnected individuals sitting around having philosophical/political debate about the Town and its elected officials.
With election season upon us, even more of this discussion will be manipulated by candidates looking to win elections. Not just for the noble cause of stimulating debate to bring about change.

'hmmmm' you are right. There is an agenda here. It's a very clear agenda. Perhaps you could be so kind as to say where you differ? Or was your technique to just say "agenda" and hope that scared the over 80 set?

Has any candidate taken up the offer to discuss a topic on HV? I'd like to see candidates branch beyond the scripted "debates" sponsored by civic groups.

Sounds all good to me! Candidates plus everyone else stimulating debate... noble or not... much better than silent stagnation and ignorance. We trust ourselves to separate the wheat from the shaft.

Bring it on, candidates, but don't forget about us when you win. When the day is over, ideas never translated into actions are worthless.
