In a story in the local Santa Rosa paper, it is suggested that the outburst by Sen Pat Wiggins I linked to below may be part of an emerging pattern of behavior, rather than simple rudeness:
The outburst did not come as a shock to a half-dozen past and current elected leaders, public officials and supporters who said they have become alarmed about what they see as the senator’s increasingly erratic behavior over the past few months.
The incidents include inappropriate comments, displays of temper and the need to speak from prepared scripts.
“It’s bad news. Clearly, something is wrong,” said a longtime supporter, who, along with others interviewed for this story, requested anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the issue.
I hope she’s just having a bad spell…and it does appear that my suggestion that this was the product of an elected official’s arrogance may have been misplaced.
let’s be serious, that guy didn’t say a damn thing if he didn’t repeat himself five times…the reality the community he reps isn’t going to change or do anything to help…they just want cheaper prices like the rest of us…
I think, Manny, you may be missing the point. Whatever he said,he has a right to say,however, the lady’s response was totally inappropriate and if it is a new pattern perhaps there is an underlying health issue that is beginning to affect her behavior.
