Michael Woo

I would like to complete the statements that I made, and which your reporter quoted out of context in the profile on Woo.

After a lengthy discussion on why I thought Woo would be an outstanding mayor, and how his training and experience have readied him for the job, your reporter “pressed” me to come up with a weakness in his character. I said: “He doesn’t like to be the bearer of bad news, nobody does. He doesn’t like to make unpopular decisions, but he has become much better at making tough decisions, and he is prepared to make them now.”
