You've got a collection of logical fallacies going here.
Putting aside the false dilemma of "if you're not my friend, you're my enemy", you clearly are not reading what people are saying.
The festival itself is not what most people are complaining about. The poorly thought out, completely unplanned proposal to close a major route for several weekends by a twit of a council member is what people are upset about. What we are saying is, "show us a need to shut the road down and we will listen". That is not what happened here. Ultimately, this little festival could easily have been carried out without closing the road.
The festival itself was a great idea, and I commend that group for,
after the fact, attempting to find a use for this useless closure. But don't kid yourself, Farrell had no clue what to do with the road she wanted shut down for four weekends in a row. None whatsoever.
That is what people are angry with her about. As an alderman, she is a waste of taxpayer dollars.
