Maggie Brooks Speech Prediction Thread
One theme we’ve seen time and again with the Brooks administration and the county GOP is that they talk a good show, and can be very smooth and smiley, winning over the D&C Ed Board and others who simply don’t have the time or inclination to follow local politics closely enough.
It’s tough to follow all the local stuff that’s going on, especially when the local GOP is really, really good at muddying the water, and fuzzying things up just enough to get 50+1% of folks. That’s where RT is trying to help, by remembering the stuff that’s easy to forget and putting stuff in context.
So…what do you folks think is going to be in Brooks’ speech today? It’s arguably the most important activity in her PR/photo-op based leadership. I came up with a short list:
- Smoke
- Mirrors
- It’s those partisan Dems’ fault
- Lookit those couple of baby-step environmental things I did. (As Rochester Colonial can tell you, it’s called “window dressing”.)
- Our economy has its challenges, but we’re working on it (by giving COMIDA grants and sweetheart deals to political cronies)
- Ren Square mismanagement is someone else’s fault, but I’m riding on my white horse to rescue it.
I’ve gotta get back to work– any other ideas?
its earth day so the theme will be Rochester as (cough cough) green leader. Let’s conveniently forget Russell station one of nations worst coal fired plants, the aging nuclear plant 20 miles away, all those Kodak emission and all the chemical soup buried under Kodak and many many more issues. Let increase the greenhouse gases with biofuels and say were green
happy earth day (wheeze) all
“Running this county is hard work, so you’ll forgive me if I keep this short and sweet and get back to the job at hand.”
Now I don’t have to read her speech!
