The mayor responded by saying he thinks they need to look at the roles and responsibilities of the mayor and executive branch and also the council and legislative branch. So who do you think is driving the agenda?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061872101082544823.post-67549815717162411382012-01-10T13:07:27.830-06:002012-01-10T13:07:27.830-06:00The 2 councilors didn't vote yes to adjourn be...The 2 councilors didn't vote yes to adjourn because a member of the audience tried to address the mayor after he talked to Tim for 5 minutes. It was the guy who called the Mayor a dictator in an earlier comment. After they adjourned the guy yelled, "Thank you for chastising us Mr. Mayor!". It was the most entertaining 32 minute city council mtg ever. AND they voted in solidarity to move the meeting day decision to MAY until there is a new council in place. Erpenbach basically gave a speech saying it doesn't matter if they move the day if they castrate the council through the charter revision's proposed changes. It was an 8-0 vote.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061872101082544823.post-9012835175490995892012-01-10T10:28:05.983-06:002012-01-10T10:28:05.983-06:00Just give the mayor enough rope.....Just give the mayor enough rope.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061872101082544823.post-4745659964138085782012-01-10T00:18:56.857-06:002012-01-10T00:18:56.857-06:00I'd be curious to hear why Brown and Karsky vo...I'd be curious to hear why Brown and Karsky voted "no" on adjournment. What more was left to be said after Entenman read his prepared statement and MMM once again misrepresented the selection process?<br /><br />First, MMM claims city board and committee applicants are vetted by the sitting members on each committee. But that's impossible for the CRC as the term of the last committee members had expired more than one year ago! He failed to appoint the committee in a timely manner.<br /><br />Second, I can speak from experience as a member on one of these city committees. We have had zero input on the appointment of any new or renewing members during MMM's term. We never see an application and we're never asked for an opinion. The entire process is handled inside the Mayor's office behind closed doors.<br /><br />MMM - wonder why fewer and fewer people trust you with each passing week? Because actions speak louder than words. Your words tonight ring hollow; however, your actions in appointing political contributors and friends to do your heavy-lifting on the CRC are very loud and very clear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
