This recall of 3rd district city councilor is about three things.

Okay so I have talked about the recall of councilor Gardner a lot, and I believe it is a joke to be doing this to her.  The group is hiding behind behind public safety. The only two public safety issues they can hand their hats on are the fire hall, the redevelopment of the s curve.  This comes down to three things.

Now lets just take those two issues first.   Councilor Gardner did all she could to save the fire hall on park point in public and private meetings with the Mayor but with no success it was closed by the mayor and a council approved it well Gardner voted no on it.  She still did what she could to try to save it.  The Medlins who are the ones sackifical lambs on this for the park pointers are right actions speak louder then words.  It's clear they our no one on park payed attion to what councilor Gardner did to try to save the fire house. If they did they would know how much work councilor Gardner did to try to save the fire house on park point.

Second is the s curve it don't matter because it is not getting moved it did not pass the council.  Yes well  councilor Gardner supported the development and voted for the council as a whole did not It don't matter because there is not a public safety issue here sense it is not going to take place.  The other thing is councilor Gardner was at many meetings about the small area plan for park point and heard your worries but she voted one way because she thought it was best for the city.  It is a policy vote get over your self's.


Now I said this is about three things, the first being public safety we talk about that above.  The second is an issue you may not hear any where else but here. It has to do with one citizens fight to protect her right to have lights up at Christmas time.  Now as far as I know that council has had not meeting on this nor holds a position on it and maybe not even know that the administration is pushing this.   Sense Bentlyvillie was moved down to Duluth the city (administration and Mayor) have been going after a park point property owner to not do her Christmas light display.  They have put much pressure on her to stop even threatening the idea of a year long fee just to put up such displays on private property.

See the Mayor and administration well they say they love the lights around town don't want "competition" to bentlyvillie.  Now her house on park point has been a destination of Duluthian's and tourist a like to see the lights at Christmas time because she spends the time putting the light up and has apple cider and a warming house and Santa, plus it's a great place to go see lights for Christmas.  This fight however seems more between the Mayor and this owner however this owner may have some feelings about the council wanting to get involved in it.

The third reason is selfish amount the pointers and that is the not in my back yard with development and like projects.

What this recall boils down to is the pointers are upset about the small area plan for the point and don't know how to deal with indifference's so instead of seeking a real solution they run to a recall.  Sick makes no sense lets run a good councilors name threw the mud and we wonder why people don't want to run for city council or anything.
