Comedian, Con Man, or Confused?

From a regular reader:

When Steve Holt became mayor of Florence he discovered the plans for the new animal shelter included a gift shop and a snack bar. Did he just say, "Oh, well, that's the plan. Nothing I can do"? No, he quickly changed the plans.

But Chad Holden tells the citizens of Muscle Shoals that Brian Lindsey couldn't scale back on the plans for the new football stadium (aka athletic complex) when he took office. Just nothing to be done but go through with it.

Basden Praises Lindsey

How many of you believe that? Not only that, we've seen the 2013 newspaper article where Coach Basden says it was all Lindsey's idea. What gives? Which man is confused or should I use another word?

But let's go on. Holden says two different attorneys general have said it's all right for Alabama schools to campaign for more money. No, what at least one of these said concerned the Alabama Excellence Initiative. No one got an opinion on the Muscle Shoals district which has the highest home tax in the county. 

Then look at this...

So I guess Lindsey could rob a bank and give the money to the school and it would be all right if he stated it was in the board's best interest? Sorry, Chad, I don't think it works that way. 

Have you seen any other school officials supporting this tax? No, didn't think so. Chad Holden is either a comedian or a con man. Or maybe just confused. Or he really, really wants to support Brian Lindsey. Isn't Lindsey the man who gave Holden the job of principal at Muscle Shoals High School? Didn't Holden move to Muscle Shoals just to please Lindsey? 

That's some loyalty. Or is that something else that we just can't put a name to yet?
