No Happy Talk Here. Before I express what I feel on this matter, I first want to say that I personally like Chief Bolton, but, I am very disappointed in the way he has handled this shameful deed from his past. Many of my friends say that is in the past. It is better to admit a mistake than to try to hide it. I have more respect for a lowly blue collar worker then many of our city leaders who sell themselves like prostitutes to get to the top.
Ambition can be a strong driving force in any human being who wants to be at the top.
I think not. Many people would like for it to be forgotten and to just go forward as though it never happened. It did happen. By doing nothing we become part of the problem because we become enablers. Speaking for myself, I respect someone who has made a mistake and is sincere about being sorry.
