Comments on: Q&A: Ryan Thomason on the issues http://smmercury.com/2012/10/16/qa-ryan-thomason-on-the-issues/ Tue, 21 May 2013 02:37:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Dianne Wassenich http://smmercury.com/2012/10/16/qa-ryan-thomason-on-the-issues/#comment-451499 Dianne Wassenich Fri, 19 Oct 2012 15:39:51 +0000 http://smmercury.com/?p=61291#comment-451499 It is odd that several Council members claim they legally cannot speak on the Cape’s Camp parkland issues. This is not true. They can speak personally all they want to about this, anywhere they want to, but they just can’t use city resources to advocate. Perhaps they just don’t understand what the city attorney has told them. Or maybe they don’t want to say anything that would inform voters about their opinions, before the election.

regarding his travel:
there is a link on the Shane Scott thread of the totals if you’d like to take a gander

$29,000 plus since he took office up thru April of 2012 of tax payer monies for travel and compensation
it is not unreasonable to expect Mr. Thomason to show up to the CONA debate and defend his record

this is election season after all – or maybe they thought the shenanigans of talking people out of running against his seat work work….thank goodness for independent candidates like Melissa Derrick!!!

regarding his business…you’ve got to be kidding, his signs are all over town with new construction projects…nice try….. Heck he even gives city awards at the state of the city address to his clients, even if their business hurts a pre-existing business. Then that award is used to justify the business before the P&z.

When has Thomason not voted as a “corporate puppet?” Clearly you like to “play the politix game.”

Also how do you know that his business is booming from his elected position?

Hmmm let me see Thomason gets a stipend, he sure travels allot on the taxpayer money, his business is booming from his elected position. So sorry the election season had to take a back seat to your vacation season.

Derrick’s campaign seems to be primarily about opposing development….so they’re trying to paint Thomason as a corporate puppet who doesn’t care about the neighborhoods of San Marcos. What better way to do that than to make a big deal about his inability to attend a CONA event?

It’s a pretty transparent ploy, but LMC does like to play the politics game.

How dare he schedule a vacation, probably way in advance as most are, when the CONA debate schedule comes out a week or so before it actually happens.
C’Mon now! Who cares!

Seems strange that there are no questions about the master plan, or neighborhoods/rezoning.
