Lately I have been learning more than I ever wanted to know about Palm Springs. I was reading the City Council endorsements of the Desert Sun. You can read the whole thing here.
These two paragraphs kind of jumped out at me --
John Williams ran for council before and lost, but he is no loser. He picked himself up and worked hard to fill gaps by participating in a host of civic groups.
Williams would not bring the same broad-based experience that Weigel does. We are also troubled by his having allowed his hotel to be used for the production of pornographic films. Williams said he allowed this because as a new hotel owner he needed to pay the bills. He did not remember when it stopped. Nor did he say he would not allow the films to be made again if he needed the money. While his activities were perfectly legal, we would have preferred that he had voiced regrets and say he would not do it again.
Here is the crazy part......my friends down there think this Williams guy is going to win. |
