Lies




This question and answer session is worth listening to again.  If you go to 6:17 in the video, I ask two questions - one twice since it went unanswered the first time.  The question that I had to repeat was "Where would the money for the transition to a new police department come from?"  The City Manager responded that it would come from savings, but that the transition costs were really not part of the scope of the study.

Oh really?  I don't know of too many consultants that volunteer to do work outside the scope of the study if they weren't told to do it.  The point is, it was in the scope of the study - see above.

Judge Judy, when she catches someone in one lie, often interrupts litigants during later testimony saying that she can't believe them because they already proved they were a liar with the first false truth.  What does that say about our City Manager?
