After Councillors Ballard and Gaertner's effort to defeat the motion to direct staff to prepare terms of reference for a museum curator and program, Councillor Gallo had something to add, as if buoyed by the vigor of the argument.
"While we're at it" he said "I am sick and tired of the continual bashing of the last council"
It wasn't clear how the comment fitted with rules of order, to speak to the question, banning criticism, required decorum and use of parliamentary language.
Even if it did, there had been no "bashing of the last council"
I said "The last Council did what they did. Now it's this council's responsibility to move forward and do what we must"... or words to that effect.
It was as if Councillor Gallo had bolstered his resolve to make the statement and could wait no longer for bashing to occur.
Or more likely still, at the pre-conference, bashing was anticipated, the councillor was given his lines by the director and felt honour-bound to deliver them even though the occasion did not arise.
Sometimes, nothing goes according to plan no matter how contrived the effort.

They seem to operate in a vacuum.
I'm sick and tired of Councillor Gallo.
Bash away till the cows come home , it helps to reinforce the fact that it was the worst of the worst, and hopefully never to be repeated,Even better when one of the former members brings it up .
brinkka2011 says: wonderful points altogether, you just gained a new reader. What would you suggest in regards to your post that you made some days ago? Any positive?
Gallo is such a waste of space in my opinion.
I recall the moment of unalloyed joy as the
election results came in & I realized that
Evalina was gone. I had figured that the lawsuit might
have finished Morris but had not dared to hope we
could get the two of them. For that reason I tolerate
Mayor Dawe's slowness to get his ass in gear, but
patience is slowly running out.
