First things get "personal" and then things get "stupid"

I waited a whole week to see if, and how, they would respond to this published letter:

http://www.yorkregion.com/opinion/letters/article/1503724--reconsider-re-naming-field

The allegation that the letter writer is making is very serious; because she has made her colleagues upset, did the honourable(?) members of Newmarket Council decide to back-track on their promise of support the re-naming in order to 'punish' Maddie Di Muccio and her husband? 

Here are the most salient points (keeping in mind, it doesn't matter whether you feel the sports field naming is warranted (as many do) or not (as the Era Banner doesn't):

1) Have they lost perspective of what they were voting on?  We're talking about naming a sports field, just one of the many sports fields located at the Ray Twinney Centre.  This is a compelling story and the vote should have been obvious (even for this bunch).  I have yet to see any Council member explain why he/she couldn't support this.  It seems like a total bone-head move not to favour this (even for this bunch).  If the letters in the Era and the Toronto Sun are any indication, this item has the public's attention.  (Here is another letter in the Era:  http://www.yorkregion.com/opinion/letters/article/1503725--least-we-can-do-is-honour-youth-with-field )

2) The letter writer claims that Councillors had previously promised him to see this through.  A record of broken promises will indeed break political careers.  Again, why is there a cone of silence around this?  It seems to be political suicide not to explain their about-face to the public.

3) I can't think of a politician alive who would let allegations like these ones made by the letter writer just ferment in the public. It begs the question, is the letter writer on to something here?

Either the Mayor and these Councillors have totally given up all hope for re-election (and yes, issues like these become BIG issues at election time.  Voters want leaders who are compassionate not heartless), or they have become absolutely blinded by their hatred of the Ward 6 Councillor.

So Newmarket, you get to decide.  Are our esteemed(?) Council members "Heartless" or "Hateful".  Either way, I don't think they should be given the benefit of the doubt.
