Although I hate to give a falsehood any attention, I want to expose this one particular one to the light of ...ummmm... truth. Apparently, the ability to divine one's intent runs rampant in Worthington. Now, added to that, we have been presented with the following statement from a letter to the Dispatch and local papers: "From the public financial information on the district's Web site, I knew the generous contract would require a levy to pass." This remarkable quote from an otherwise unremarkable, business as usual, anti-levy letter struck me as odd. The contract has been approved for nearly a year, yet Pam Williams claims to have had this knowledge and hasn't, to my knowledge, shared it with anyone, certainly not in the one email I received from her earlier this year.
So, in my view, her assertion is a fabrication, an ex post facto attempted re-interpretation of fact. I stand by my assertion that no levy was, or is, needed to fund the current union and administrative contracts. Since Pam Williams already has knowledge that I am wrong and that a levy was, and is, needed to fund the current contracts, I challenge her to provide me, immediately, with the "public financial information" upon which she purportedly relies. I am sure she'll have no shortage of assistance but, in fairness, I'll wait until noon on Friday, October 16th, 2009 for provision of the proof. Again, she already stated she knew that the current contract needed a levy to pass to fund it, so she should have zero problem immediately providing the proof to the public.
