    Robert,

    You always have an opinion about Abilene City Politics, and how we do things here. But in my 5-years on the Council, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you step foot inside Abilene City Hall. Have you’ve ever had a conversation with our city manager, or any of our department leaders?

    Next month, we will have our budget workshops. I would like to personally invite you to attend some, if not all, of those, so you can get a better idea of exactly what we do, and how we do it.

    Thanks,

    Kyle McAlister

      So unless someone goes to City Hall he cannot have an opinion informed of governing philosophy? Odd idea. I guess none of us should vote since we don’t visit Congress.

        Obviously people have the right to an opinion.

        But you are more than “someone.” You are a journalist, of sorts, with “The News and Commentary of Texas,” right? I don’t think it’s odd at all to expect someone who claims to be a journalist/commentator/reporter to actually step out and interview the people he is reporting/commenting on.

        You say, “city staff is only thankful Kreitler is gone. They want go-along-and-get-along only on the council.” Who on the City Staff have you visited with, in person, that feels this way? A reporter/commentator will always have reliable sources he can fall back on; or it’s just more “fake news.”

        And, I’m not asking you to come all the way to DC. Just 2 1/2 hours to Abilene on July 24, 25 and/or 26 to sit in on the budget process.

        Hope to see you there.

        Kyle
