I’d like to thank the writer of today’s letter in the DNT defending Roger Reinert from my “misinformation.”
First off I appreciate the mention of my blog:
am writing this in response to misinformation spread by state Senate candidate Harry Welty. A posting at Welty’s lincolndemocrat.com site was completely off-base, as was Welty’s letter to the editor of Aug. 2 in response to the News Tribune’s endorsement of his opponent, Roger Reinert. Welty’s letter was headlined, “Reinert didn’t listen to voters’ views on Red Plan.”
In the letter I sent to the Trib, that Mr. LaFleuer criticizes, I also put the name of my blog in the original text but then I took it out again deciding that it was better to put in some facts to bolster my arguments.
Mr. LaFleur offers no facts. He simply opines that I have been divisive. I suppose I have been divisive, in much the same way a rape victim that complains is a trouble maker. I didn’t start the Red Plan without a community vote and as new insights about its destructive power and the lies undergirding it come to light my blog mentions them.
I’m quite prepared to be exposed for my misrepresentations. I just need a single, solitary, erroneous fact to be pointed out for to admit my mistake. Mr. LaFleur has failed to do this.
He has said he has found Roger Reinert to be a good fellow to work with. Even in my ads I agree that “Roger is a nice guy.” However Roger did ignore complaints about the Red Plan. I presume this was because his powerful backers in the construction industry and trades wanted it built no questions asked. It is for that reason that my ad also says: “Sometimes nice guys should finish last.”
