They go after everyone that speaks their mind on home rule if it's an opinion contrary to what their's is. What one of the anonymous commenters said is absolutely right and that there's no regional representation on the proposed charter, so where is the guarantee that this council and unelected county manager will actually work for the whole county? This county's track record isn't the best at that, but it's also certainly not the worst, and without districts, it will be impossible for us that live in these places far from W-B to have our opinions heard and our problems addressed. Good for Evans for standing up for the folks in his district. Haggerty and all the rest are career politicians carving out their own jobs in this "brave new world" they want to give us. They and their supporters say that its only the political establishment that has a stake in home rule's defeat that are speaking against it... Well I got news for all of you: It's Haggerty and Niemec and Kersey and Morelli and all the rest that have a stake in home rule being instituted! It goes both ways! You don't think these people won't want to be on the new council? Or have some position somewhere? It's a political coup on their part, and I for one don't support it. Evans is right for calling the charter out on its own fine print. Hope he keeps it up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12341882.post-27524742006874708972010-09-09T10:17:58.191-04:002010-09-09T10:17:58.191-04:00Now, students, does it really make sense to add 6 ...Now, students, does it really make sense to add 6 more county leaders in addition to the 3 that we already must endure???<br />In short, let us do the math: 3 on the take plus 6 on the take = 9 on the take. <br />Does that in any way make any sense??<br />As I said, do the math.<br />Class dismissed!!!Professor Milburn Cleaver, OPAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12341882.post-89356091136212127912010-09-09T09:56:57.561-04:002010-09-09T09:56:57.561-04:00I have two huge problems with the charter. First,...I have two huge problems with the charter. First, ELEVEN members? It is hard enough to get 4-5 somewhat qualified persons to run for 3 Commissioner positions. How in the world can we get more than eleven (we want to have a choice of who to vote for so I figure we need at least 30 people running for eleven positions). Second, "At Large" just is not equitable. This is a relatively rural county once you get outside of the two large population areas. The former will be consistently underrepresented with district elections. Although getting rid of some row offices and making others non-elected is a step in the right direction, can't we do this under the current form of government? Last, I do not buy the "pro's" position that current leaders are merely attempting to protect their jobs. I think that incumbents, perhaps with the exception of Griffith, and certainly the commissioners, will not be re-elected. They do however, understand the workings of government because they are in thre trenches every day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12341882.post-23272676739822566782010-09-09T09:34:23.544-04:002010-09-09T09:34:23.544-04:00They would be like the X-MEN mutants, battling soc...They would be like the X-MEN mutants, battling society...always getting a raw deal from "the man".
