Gonzalez vs. Chester

Hello, Ed, I am not a resident of Trenton although I have resided in Trenton and owned property there previously. I doubt very seriously that Mr. Gonzalez will find an attorney to take such an unsubstantiated case that lacks merit. Mr. Chester is allowed to ask questions and raise concerns. To deny him this is to deny him his first amendment rights. It has been my experience that when one asks legitimate questions officials become outraged as though no one can or should dare question them. Mr. Chester should, if he desires, seek legal counsel to ascertain if this proposed suit is groundless. I am sure that he will find that his actions do not rise to the level of slander. I have read the letter from Gonzalez and reviewed the city council tapes and can only conclude from a lay person’s prospective that Gonzalez is off base with his desire to sue Mr. Chester. Then again anyone can sue.

Oh, ye of little faith. There is a lawyer out there for every case. There was a judge willing sue for $50 million because his pants got damaged. There’s a lawyer for every case. It’s the nature of the beast. So fear not, Mr. Gonzalez will find legal counsel.

Why is Gonzalez taking such a abrasive stance toward Chester. Chester asked a question any citizen has a right to ask. Wouldn't this be a public records issue? If not, Gonzelez can just remind Chester of the fact and move on. However,this is not the first time Gonzalez has reacted negatively to questions or comments regarding his department. The fact that Palmer made such a point of coming to his defense only serves to further illuminate the possible existence of some sort of impropriety. Fact is any/all citizens have the right to inquire about any project of interest that could/would involve changes to the community at large. Nonetheless, the questions will rage on "What's Gonzalez's problem, further, why is he so adament about a public/published apology from Chester? The larger question being,"Why did Palmer quickly respond, in his defense?
