It is quite probable that some of the "liars"; treasonous players; bullies etc will eventually be outed at the highest levels of US politics. This will be done by true patriots (most notably including reporters and handfuls of a free "press" and at first a sprinkling of elected representatives) who are most interested in preserving a democratic system of government that as is the real life case.....can easily be perverted into a personal dictatorship.
Now for those who can not see flaws in local Rm politics here is some fake news to sweep to try to sweep under the rugs.
Would anyone choose to vote for someone whose core value is
"When "MR.name not mentioned" comes before council on any matter ...I already know what my decision is"
OR when a council unanimously chooses to appoint a former council member (from an actual lits of candidates) to a municipal board for the sole prior agreed reason that that party wishes to continue to avail himself of the "gold plated" ratepayer funded prescription drug plan etc. etc.
or how about time after time; unanimously rescinding previous council decisions made only months or even a decade ago; that obviously are meant to apply to specific individuals only; and that in similar instances of themselves; their families and supposed friends and enablers; have and will be looked at in the complete reverse.
And the old standby of any member or staff not properly having the authority to "ACT" without the backing of properly passed resolutions of council; current bylaws and the authority of the Municipal Act. Plus; what is commonly ignored...is the refusal of councillors to see that those council motions are indeed carried out in the time frame that those same councillors have just directed in those valid council motions.
But when these matters are directed to attention of council to consider these and other pretty serious accusations what can everyone expect. You know; what we get is a report of the dead silence of outright guilt. Not a single comment. And please don't anyone suggest a person should have been at the meeting; because its all done from iPads pointed away from the view of a gallery who is deemed to not be welcome at their meeting
And when one subsequently asks that at the next council meeting those same written charges be actually at least finally addressed....would anyone believe the concerns are reported to have been greeted with "Lets move on... there is no request in writing". Well children.... what about the month old request in writing that council had not dealt with in any way; except I guess a second of dead silence.
Oh do we nee a Washington Post or New York Times.....or do we need an informed electorate and people with actual gonads.
What we least need is more enablers.
