Odd Timing

    Is it just me, or are articles about the Pedestrian Tunnel oddly timed?

    For example, the tunnel funding (lack of) was ruled on April 1, 6 days before the election. Why does it only come out now, at the same time as the two employees that had gone after the grant have resigned?

    I find it equally odd that right before the tunnel was going to be filled, this article came out. It certainly kept the pitch forks away on that day, while we waited for a freight to pass on the first day of school. I feel kind of hoodwinked.

    Similiarly, have you read the most recent Landmark View

    "In the meantime, we're reminded of another piece of pithy advice: You break it, you own it. Riverside belongs to the RCA."

    I don't quite get the idea behind the saying quoted...

    "You break it, you own it. Riverside belongs to the RCA."

    To quickly summarise what just happened: following the American tradition of correcting governorship perceived to have broken what it was charged to maintain, the Riverside electorate expressed its voice to try to correct what it perceived has been broken. In other words, the Riverside electorate has said that something is broken - has been broken by the incumbent administration - and wants it fixed.

    The editorial strangely ignored this distinct fact - that the people clearly voted this way - but rather emphasized its view of RCA campaign tactics.

    That editorial seemed extreme and a bit odd, even for an opinion piece. Maybe being 0 for 3 in the recommendations of the last three important Riverside elections, the TIF, the TAX, and now the Board election, has something to do with it?

    I am not sure how this connects to the odd timing of the articles.

    Actually I would have written " Be careful what you ask for ...you just may get it"

    How about this saying,

    'The dog caught the car. Now what ?'

    sorry for veering from the original poster's thread.
