Now what kind of city councilor chooses not to answer questions on video? Is it a city councilor that's running unopposed,or is it a city councilor that feels he doesn't owe his constituents any answers,or both? I would think that someone that runs for city council would take every measure necessary to reach their constituents in any forum available to them. It's a free comercial,and a way for constituents to hear their councilors views on issues. I'm sure that Mr.Herrick has a real good reason for not wanting to answer any questions on video,especially after those allegations that he voted on an issue that he allegedly ended up financially benefitting from. There's a 60 million dollar construction project being discussed for E.L ,Herrick is the ward 3 councilor;is he going to obstain on any votes pertaining to E.L so he can possibly get work for himself without a conflict of interest?. Ward 3 needs representation.I hate to bother anyone while they're lining their pockets.
