Fries for Signatures?
A petition to support Porky's was circulated at a residence near the proposed Porky's site. Neighbors Against Porky's has been told that some residents of Parker Skyview High Rise were told they could have free french fries, Porky's t-shirt, and/or a Porky's if they signed a petition supporting Porky's.
Some neighbors call this bribery while other call it a smooth campaign move. What do you think?

Even without signing gifts, a petition is one-sided. No, it wasn't smooth. It was manipulative and so obvious it was insulting. Worse, Ostrow used this petition to suggest to city council that the neighborhood was split. That was also manipulative and so obvious it was insulting.
The gifts leave a bad taste in my mouth. Also, I know another person who went door-to-door in the high rise and was able to get people to sign an anti-Porky's petition very easily.
Which is it then? Is high rise is Pro-Porky's or anti-Porky's? I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. Clearly though, they don't care about the drive-through aspect. A several high-rise residents stated this at the October 26th meeting.
"Want fries with that..."
Politicians get in trouble for buying votes - why should it be any different in the private sector?!
It's BRIBERY, pure and simple.
