Fabricated issue.
I would tend to believe the U of C ethics prof in this regard over sulking aldermen. The arrogance of some of them is astounding:
Quote:
Lowe said Nenshi should have known better than to accept the ticket, and that he could have talked the idea over with any of the aldermen, including Lowe himself.

Talk it over with him? I wonder what his qualifications are to speak on this? Is he a respected academic in the field? Has he been invited as a key speaker to major conferences and had to deal with this directly? Is he a blowhard with sour grapes?
I suspect there is only one "yes" answer to the above.
He was invited as a key speaker by the event organizer and as such, transportation costs were paid.
I have a feeling that this will be the first of many non-issues that Nenshi will have to deal with.
