Warning: If you want to see the SLT completed, don't vote for Flory. Flory has so much baggage that you can bet the national media will pick up on it. The last time Flory made the news, major newspapers, including the Wall Street Journal, ran stories. Local and national television affiliates also covered it. If Flory is elected, they will say that Flory's support of the 32nd Street alignment is yet another example of a racist attack on the Native Americans in Lawrence. For those who were not around, Flory resigned his elected position as District Attorney within days of his completion of a "coroner's inquest" that was obviously designed to cover-up the truth regarding the killing of a Native American in Lawrence. The media considered the inquest flawed because Flory clearly engineered the outcome. He took over the inquest from the coroner, hand picked the jury, refused to allow any witnesses (other than the ones he selected), refused to allow any cross examination and treated the parents of the victim like criminals. Even his hand-picked jury unanimously stated that they had very grave concerns. The last person we need pushing for the completion of the 32nd Street alignment across land considered sacred by Native Americans is a person who has an infamous reputation as an enemy of the Native Americans in Lawrence. Let's finish the SLT. Stiring up the Native Americans and the national media will completely stop all the progress that has been made. If you want to see the SLT completed, don't vote for Flory!For an overview of the case, read Bruce Roger's excellent article that was published in "The Pitch"http://cybold.com/cybold/hitchita/part2.htmlOr if you want to see Flory's character and ethics first hand, download and read the actual transcript from the infamous inquest:http://www.cybold.com/cybold/hitchita/text/appxc.pdf
