That's an unfortunate way of phrasing it.

I went to grade school with his daughter. Never thought I'd be linked to a Fark article through her.

So, you lost touch with them as well?

That's a rather stupid joke. I doubt most politicians are that readily available to drop everything they're doing and talk with the local news.

WFern: That's a rather stupid joke. I doubt most politicians are that readily available to drop everything they're doing and talk with the local news every time they call.

Fixed before someone whines.

The councilman for the city¹s oldest and largest ward will be decided Dec.
1. In 2005, Parks, beat Trevillyan, a water utility employee, in a runoff election by fewer than 100 votes. On Tuesday, Trevillyan garnered 462 votes, Parks, 403. and Mark Rocha, 377. No one had more than 50 percent of the vote, prompting the run off.

Parks, 73, of 1929 Buffalo Road, fended off campaign criticism that he has lost touch with his constituents. He could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

Trevillyan, who has promised quarterly town hall meeting to air residents¹ concerns if elected, said he looks forward to the rematch.

Hello, this is Councilman Bob Parks. I'm not available at the moment, but I'm not out of touch. If you want to get in touch with me, press 1. If you want to complain you can't get in touch with me, press 2. If you want to claim I'm out of touch, press 3. All other attempts to get in touch with me, please leave a message. Thank you, and vote Bob Parks for Councilman.
