Silence! I Demand Silence!

Edgar Casey posted an interesting comment regarding last night's budget meeting. It is deemed worthy of it's own post and subsequent comments and conversation.

Edgar Casey said...
An excerpt from the ever delusional, paranoid, self destructive confused and mentally tormented Mayor. " I'll also have to limit the public comment portion of the meeting to 15 minutes. It's necessary with the way some of those people go on. The council chambers is set up for this, and now we have to go out and spend $800 to rent a sound system, and the (sound) quality is just terrible in there (the community center) anyway."


Being the Mayor can be a real bitch. It must be really difficult to implement your authoritarian dreams when you have to sit and listen to all this "riff raff" during Citizen's Comments. Pol Pot and General Ngyan never had to actually sit and listen to the citizenry. Why should the Mayor? In her world, the city's proper policy venue is a quiet table at the Manderin House.

If she tries to limit comments thereby destroying our civil right to participate; a reasonable argument for civil disobedience can be and should be considered.

Is it more cost effective to rent a sound system or go out and buy one. This won't be a one-time thing.

That aside, $800 for sound system rental is cheaper than the $1000 you can be fined for Sunshine Law violations.



On a side note: for those who don't read the notices when they log in to Blogger. There is a scheduled outage for 2PM today, lasting aproximately 45 minutes.

Remember the He-Man Woman Haters Club? Great place to meet and discuss local politics, but the food was never of much substance.

I do not believe Gary sold. He was going to a few months back and the deal fell thru.

Well, Milard Fillmore did have an appreciation for redheads. That is certainly a redeeming quality.

I would definitely have him over his cartoon alter-ego Mallard Fillmore.

Well said Edgar,

I agree with you, the money they have wasted and are trying to waste is a lot. The sound at the CC for the no show meeting was great, much better than wild acres which was painfull!
I am betting she does not show up, which would be great for our side.
Every time she gets in front of a mic it's good for our side!

Edgar Casey,
An excellent post, with absolute truth, riddled with your great humour.

Oooops, that would be humor (American Vernacular) not humour...the Queens English/Canadian.

Well folks, though it was a rather short meeting, my coverage of it ran VERY long. Sorry, but they raised so many legal issues in that meeting that I had to spend half the day researching, and all of that made the post quite long.

So, once you grap a fresh cup of coffee check it out at:

That seems to explain a lot. I knew these people were touched in the head.

Looks like DANNYINFECTOR has yet another personality.
Can we say Sybil? I knew you could.

Edgar Casey,
I had a hunch RUDYK was DANNY. But something clinched the deal that made me certain it was DANNYINFECTOUSWASTE ;-)

These people do not know how to guise their pen and ink very well.
