RM elections

[LEP]

Just as I thought, all talk and no action.

[oneoff]

wrong again LEP.... Always could out work and outthink ten clods and slow learners such as yourself.

Most of the responses are based on the assumption that once becoming a council member you can do anything you want to do; and do it selectively to those you choose.

While this may currently work in practice; those tyrants will eventually be unceremoniously relieved of their duties.
However one does have to acknowledge what is currently futile, but no one has to be silent just because some one else is really annoyed at hearing the truth from a different perspective.

Out of the 4 rms we farm in three are not bad.
Most you have to do the fixes your self. It's a shit
show that has had its day and needs to be
replaced. In our home rm if I ran I would lose
hands down because everyone is related or
friends with the current reeve and councilor. So
the sooner the prov government drops this rm bs.
The better.

Its alsotime for SARM and other reputable, honorable RM councils to help clear up some of the defects that are putting rural municipal governments in a bad light.

And some of the dirty dark secrets that have been decribed might as well be called for exactly what they are. For the fence sitters and apologists and supporters who wish the problems would just go away....shame on you.

It is what it is......and if potential candidates have no chance of being supported by their few too close "neighbors"....there is something horribly wrong wrong if the election outcome might be totally different within a pool of ratepayers ten times that size.

And voters would have a much higher caliber of candidates to select from

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah

[oneoff]

Pretty weak response.

Hope you're not a councillor but you would fit right in as reeve.

[sumdumguy]

Oneoff, run on the platform of open and honest
government. You will be surprised at how many
people feel the same way you do. Go for it, or
forever hold your peace.

[stubblejumper]

I suspect oneoff is known in the RM and couldn't get elected dogcatcher.

[oneoff]

And I would put my reputation up against yours any time.

[gregpet]

Yet you remain anonymous? If you at least ran and lost I can understand your
complaining, but to not run and have all that verbal diarrhea, scheesh.
