I have never seen a more cynical letter than that by Councilman Dick Winger Jan. 10 regarding the sale of Vero Electric.

How long can Winger keep up this hoax? How long will some people still believe him?

Councilman Kramer is gone, Councilman Old is gone, Councilwoman Graves is gone. Only Dick Winger remains using every political trick to obstruct the sale.

Winger said, "Get a fair price.” He got that, and still it wasn't enough.

Winger said, "Let the people decide with a referendum." He got two.

Winger then said, "It’s a done deal," and the people believed him and made him mayor, where he immediately joined his friends and killed the sale.

Winger then said, "The Deal is dead. Get over it." Why? Because he was the one who killed it in a 3-to-2 vote. He will deny that, but it is in the minutes and on video. Believe him or the record.

He then said that if all can't go, none shall go: "No partial sale."

Now he says that we need a full sale. Yes the one he personally killed. He said it was dead — get over it — and obstructed. Now he says he was for it all along. Really?

With friends like him, who needs enemies?

On Nov. 8 we sent a message to Washington. Here's the message for Vero Beach: Don't ever, ever, ever be fooled into believing that Dick Winger will ever, ever, ever do anything to help sell Vero Electric and bring relief to Vero business and residents. It is delay, deflect and deny.

Like the "emperor," it is time Vero Beach sees Winger "has no clothes.”
