"nonsense to artificially concern good people like yourself" is so condescending!
I think I can understand that Dan Dalager admitted getting below market appliances from someone with business he voted for. The Gordans confirmed it too. I think I can understand that he took a $100,000 loan from Dan Shelley, a local developer with interest in a property that Danny voted for. I also think I can recognize a conflict of interest and a vote (actually votes) where Dan should have recused himself. I also recognize a politician trying to avoid the issue by not opening up his loan or appliances to public scrutiny.
Danny is either crooked or stupid or both. Either way, I don’t want him administering my $53 million dollar City budget. Vote for anyone but the crooked Mayor. Clean up City Hall.

there is a lawsuit pending against the City for failure to release the Street Maintenance Report, which the City only released after the lawsuit was filed, despite the fact the report was finalized in March 2010, requested by the public in July 2010, and a lawsuit filed in August 2010 because the City refused to release it, calling it a draft! This report was withheld for political reasons, it shows that Dalager lied when he boasted the streets were in good repair, the report shows the City is 17 million dollars behind in deferred maintenance. Why does it take a lawsuit for the City to follow the law?

Don’t be so naive. It is not so easy to prove stuff that people are trying to hide..especially access to documents and emails. Just because someone has not filed a law suit does not mean that there is nothing wrong. Look at the city of Bell….
A more serious matter is the fact that the three men got their heads together and voted themselves into power and manage go control everything with the help of the City Manager.
By keeping items off the agenda they effectively vote without the issues even having to come to the council meetings. Vote for Teresa Barth and Tony Kranz.
Stop calling all this hanky panky at city hall the result of election smearing……Dan Dalager got himself into all this hot water all by himself and no amount of "poor Danny" can change that.

None of it is true. If it were, the attorney would have successfully sued the city, forced a change of policy, and collected fees or her trouble. She hasn’t, because this is just election nonesense to artificially concern good people such as yourself.
