Raleigh Mayor's Secret Plans

For the first in memory, Raleigh's mayor has completely forsaken transparency and treats us citizens as children. While some results seem amusing, these sophomoric decisions make Raleigh look like a joke. nation.

It's past time to demand answers.

Yes, former police Chief Harry Dolan had apparently indicated that he would only serve 5 years, however, his quick retirement now makes me wonder. The almost immediate forsaking of City Manager Russell Allen (who bucked the tide to hire a new Chief) continues to raise doubts - even in the media. Allen gets $200k, City employees get a raise, and suddenly dumber decisions get made.

How could ANYONE think that they could ignore the needs of hungry people by trying to scare off charitable groups? Worse still - how could Raleigh pretend that problems had exacerbated in just 3 months?

How could City leaders pretend not to know that churches and charitable groups were being harassed? Why did it take 3 days to place the blame on the police - not themselves?

And we always heard that the Captain is to leave a sinking ship....
