You would think a simple question posed to your local Commissioner would receive a simple and straightforward response. But not in Hansville - not when it is a question to Steve Bauer about the speed bump propaganda circus that he has been promoting for the last 8 months.
At the big April 23 meeting in Hansville, Bauer was sitting by the laptop computer being used by the pro-bump group to make their sales pitch, with Powerpoint slides, colorful charts, etc. When it had a "system hang" and had to be re-booted, Bauer himself jumped up and handled that task. And the user names that then showed up on the Welcome screen included "Steve" and "Ann."
Was this Bauer's own computer and projector, being used to host and promote the pro-bump sales pitch, at the very same time that Bauer was promoting himself as the "Healer of Hansville", who was not choosing sides and not "picking a winner and loser"?
I've emailed Bauer many times asking for an answer - because I think people would want to know this when evaluating his candor and credibility - but he has never responded. I discussed it with his lieutenant, Ann Blair, a couple of months ago, and nothing ever came of that, either. Why would Bauer be ashamed or afraid to answer the question honestly?
If anyone knows the answer to this, please post a comment and tell us the facts. Prize for the first correct answer is a Sandra LaCelle yard sign , or a bottle of wine - winner's choice!
