(My comments in )
For months I’ve been hearing how magical and all-powerful The Great Audrey Hall
is :insert poof of smoke here:
(Nobody said “great” but when the Chair of the Ways and Means benefits from a
personal contract for services from the town in 2015 and the company she was a
VP of gets two town contracts, I might call that a walking conflict of
interest. It may not bother you but the charter transparency was written
knowing of those very conflicts)
Audrey suggested that Dr Spicer think about running. She’s has impeccable
leadership qualities, she’s brought all kinds of groups with various
backgrounds together to discuss ideas with integrity, trust and respect. If
you’ve worked with her you know this.
(Was Dr. Spicer the first person Audrey thought about? Anyone, there were some
other names out there, Walsh, Sisitsky…. Were they 1 and 2????)
The competition tried (continues to try) to dig up anything they could to say
that she’s bad for Framingham. They came up empty. Watch as they try to go
after Audrey next. Smoke and mirrors. I’d be concerned too if I were in the
Stefanini camp. How could this have happened? The Charter of our new city was
literally written by them.
(No one said that Dr. Spicer is bad for Framingham. The question is the
complete lack of participation in anything related to Framingham until very
recent. We have several near failing schools that probably could have benefited
with some STEM education know how. As far as I know, she’s never served on a
board of anything related to Framingham. That is concerning to me.)
Voters don’t care. They proved that when she took more votes than all other
candidates combined. This in spite the last minute Hail Mary cowardly Robocall.
(It’s been shown that robocalls are cheap to produce. The way the Spicer
supporters were going on about it the minute after the calls hit is a bit
fishy. Stefanini’s campaign said they had nothing to do with it and have run a
clean campaign. I could see someone from the Spicer campaign going that route
considering one of their last min mailings that was fairly negative)
Also a fact, when no one was looking, Mr Stefanini’s character and values were
tested. I did not see trust and integrity when I viewed the Library tapes. I
did not hear integrity and trust when I got a Robocall with no name associated
to it. I saw more sneaking around, someone not willing to own their actions. By
no means am I saying Stefani orchestrated the call, but it looked suspicious,
especially given the anonymous - ness (is that a word?) of the call. Shady.
Didn’t inspire trust.
(The Library tape!! Studied more than the Zapruder tape at this point. Of
course the candidate has apologized every time he’s asked. But since you bring
it up, are you aware that people have nearly been arrested for collecting
signatures at Bowditch and Memorial Building in recent years? Probably not.
That’s why Schoolgate had some traction.)
Sorry back to Audrey Hall, she asked. From that point on its DrSpicer’s to
lose. If you’ve met Dr Spicer and know Dr Spicer like I do you will quickly see
she is NO ONES puppet. Audrey saw greatness in her, and Dr Spicer took it from
there.
(This goes back to the person I will vote for Mayor. Do you want someone who
was recruited or someone that knows the city, has done great things in the
paste, has stayed involved and active, and has the connections around the state
to help Framingham succeed?)
The fact this keeps going back to Audrey only proves you have no idea who Dr
Spicer is - nor the qualities she poses to lead our city. Only that she’s not
Mr Stefanini and she didn’t vote.
(….or that she has never participated in anything Framingham related until she
joined town meeting. Did she run or was she voted into a vacancy by her
precinct? Bueller?)
(And finally since we are talking about Audrey so much, why didn’t she run
herself??)
