Re “An Open Letter to Councilman Rosendahl”
I want to say for the record that Mr. Walsh's letter on Tuesday is a true testament to why some try to stifle freedom of speech.
Los Angeles City Council member Bill Rosendahl, in an open and transparent manner, sent out a press release letting us know he had been diagnosed with cancer.
As chair of the West L.A. Neighborhood Council, housed in his district, I personally received a pre-release call from staff, as a courtesy, letting me know the situation. Since then, I have had conversations with the Councilmember as well as daily contact with staff. HIs precise illness is neither here nor there. His getting well and coming back to serve his district is all that matters. Getting well is the most important portion of that sentence.
As to Mr. Walsh: His daily arm flinging, and spouting off about the ridiculous, has crossed the line this time. I would urge all to just wish Mr. Rosendahl well with a “hurry back soon” note.
Mr. Walsh, your effectiveness diminishes daily. You continue to render yourself ghoulish and irrelevant.
