Xcel ‘ain’t no hero’

So Vincent Carroll thinks Councilwoman Kathleen MacKenzie, who never met a constituent for whom she would not fall on her sword, is bullying poor little Xcel (“No villain in sight,” On Point, June 28).
Did he know Xcel was sneaking around City Council for weeks with its proposal to bypass the Ruby Hill Park View Plane ordinance?
Does he not find the lack of public discussion and Mach-5 fast-tracking just a bit “swashbuckling”?
In fact, Xcel’s pitiful offer of $125,000 for park improvements fits the third definition in Carroll’s opinion piece: “money gotten at the expense of others’ suffering.” Xcel may not be Murder Inc., but it ain’t no hero either.
