City Mayor Dan Lim yesterday called for an "open line" with Rep. Edgar Chatto whose political paths always comes opposing at each other because of the former's allegations that the last-termer solon has positioned his brother-in-law, City Vice Mayor Jose Antonio Veloso to run against him in the 2010 elections.
However, the vocal mayor sounded "friendly" yesterday when he appreciated the call of Rep. Chatto in his top-rated "Mayor's Report" over dyRD where the solon explained his side regarding the raging issue on the drainage problem in the city.
For his part, Chatto said the communication line to the city mayor remains open as far as he is concerned especially that the city belongs to the 1st congressional district.
Lim and Chatto who call each other as "chief" sounded so calm and friendly over the airlane yesterday.
The mayor told the solon "it's better if we always communicate personally and not send messages through Bohol Board Member Ae Damalerio or Vice Mayor Veloso."
For Lim, he considers both Damalerio and Veloso as political allies of the solon.
It maybe recalled that Lim reacted sharply when Damalerio who is the chair of the committee on environment of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan commented on the drainage issue.
The city mayor is always quoted as saying that both the provincial board member and the vice mayor are speaking like "spokesmen" of Rep. Chatto.
For their part, Damalerio and Veloso always defend themselves saying that if they tackle public issues, they are acting on their individual capacities as duly elected officials and not as speakers of the solon. - The Bohol Chronicle
