Summary
1. Why claim to not be involved, saying "I had nothing to do with the first recall" and that you "tried to stay out of it" - especially when you were involved from the very beginning (October 2015)? By the way, October 2015 was the very first month of the first failed recall attempt.
2. What are you hiding? Come out like a man and just tell Lake Forest residents the truth.
3. Since you are so fast and loose with honesty, can we trust another word you say?
