Subject: Old post from Voice...still wondering

I would like to know why Tracie Reveal continued to say that "we need to get all the facts out to the citizens so they can decide" about the disposition of the airport since:

She knew about the appraisal long ago (June I think) and therefore, the only proper decision would be to go with another use besides an airport. Why did she continue to say let the citizens decide? I think this is very misleading to the citizens to say the least. I'm trying to find another reason why she would do this but I can't think of one. It almost looks as though she is wanting the voters to think that she is looking out for their best interest, pandering if you will. It kind of resembles the Hooters vote to satisfy a certain group.

I was just doing some thinking and was wondering if there is more to this than we are aware of. For example, could it be that she felt that by satisfying that group of women who felt very passionate about the Hooters issue, enough to get out and picket in front of the news, that she would have a very vocal, active group that she knew would support her on just about any issue? Maybe these ladies will show up at city council meetings and speak to issues that she might ask them to speak on. Do they feel a certain obligation to her now that she stuck her neck out for them? I would view this, if it is in fact the case, as very cunning and manipulative on Tracie's part.

I am not sure can someone help with any other point of view?
