FLASHPOINT for May 22, 2007

Mayor Oscar Goodman just loves people. He has town hall meetings and coffees where people can ask for his help - or, better yet, lavish him with praise. But what if people follow up, as one woman did, but she got no satisfaction from the mayor's office? Channel 8 reported that incident as part of a story about vacation party rentals that could be next to your house. The mayor's PR team sprang into action and wrote that "no one has communicated with (the mayor) on the issue." This claim came despite a message from a mayoral staffer on the woman's voice mail. Seems, the city mouthpiece says, the mayor came out of his seat watching the TV report. How tragic. I hope he didn't lose a drop of his precious Bombay Sapphire.
