"Cowardice asks the question...is it safe? Expediency asks the question...is it politic? Vanity asks the question...is it popular? But conscience asks the question...is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because it is right." ~Dr. Martin Luther King

Lawsuit Pending

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Watch The Vote":

Two points...
"The meeting of September 14th 2010 was boycotted by two cuncillors on the basis that "potential defamation' was not an item of business for Council to discuss."

So? These same councillors could have not attended because they were sick or on vacation. Did the remaining members in attendance constitute a quorum?

"A third Councillor attended the meeting . When the decision was reported out he made a definitive
statement of disagreement that the Municipal Act permitted proposed."

Okay... but is this closing the barn door after the "horse" has left? You councillors make statements all of the time after a meeting that you disagree with the decision. Again, majority has won.

We are almost 18 months removed from this event and there is still a pent up anger with a lawfully constituted meeting and decision. If you need to vent your anger, it should be vented toward the councillors that were at the meeting then and are still at that table.

***************

You made the statement the decision was unanimous. A majority is not a unanimous decision.

The third Councillor's voted in opposition to the recommendation. It was not disagreement after the fact.

We are not eighteen months removed from the event.

A lawsuit is pending.

And money is owed once again. But who is paying the bills for the bimbo? The original idea was to bankrupt and destroy the defendants in the defamation case and have a great big pay day .Didn't happen. Morris doesn't work. Who's paying the piper?
Just asking.
