Falsehoods

An open letter to Councilmember Skillicorn. You tweeted that “Woke mayors have brought us higher taxes, more crime, more homeless, more blight and chaos. If Chicago can fire Lori Lightfoot, Phoenix, Tucson, Tempe, Mesa and Fountain Hills can fire their woke mayors too!”

I’ve lived in Chicago. In fact, I’ve lived in Chicago, St. Louis, New York City, San Francisco, Oakland, Seattle and now Fountain Hills. I think I have some reference points for crime, homelessness, blight and chaos. What in the world are you talking about? I’ve lived in Fountain Hills 20 years and you’ve been here how many? All of 2?

As a homeowner whose major investment is my property here in Fountain Hills, I not only take exception to your description of our town but also, Councilmember, I have to ask why you’re bringing down the value of my house.

Why would people want to move to a town meeting your description? I don’t know about the other cities you smeared, but I know you’re spreading falsehoods about our beautiful, peaceful town.

Show us some stats, Councilmember. Back up your claims or apologize and retract your tweet.
