Are you comparing Gaertner to McCarthy and Hitler?
You're being too kind.
--------------------
I am drawing a comparison to conspicuous events in history . No doubt plans were made behind closed doors and in that obscurity, seemed innocuous at the time.
I do not hold Councillor Gaertner alone responsible for decisions by the last Council. Initiative was always carefully avoided . The collective was always cited. As it is now. The difference being , the collective is not a majority. It numbers but three.
Councillor Gaertner has always depended on the leadership and guidance of others.
It does not relieve her of responsibility and she does keep referring with regret to the loss of authority to impose punishment. No doubt still under advisement.
It's hard to escape the impression " punishment" or retaliation was always the real objective of the Code of Conduct.
I could not re-call which State Senator Mc Carthy represented. But I did anticipate a member of the circle would provide the exact answer.

It would be nice if they could smile once in a while instead of being quite so grim. Surely being a councillor doesn't require a set jaw all the time.
The Hitler comment is out of proportion. The Councillor was never more than a foot soldier & I doubt if she was privy to much of importance. I'm sorry that the person who made the comment is still so very angry. There must have been something personal to make such a lasting impression.
If you arranged that lot in totemic order, she would be near the bottom with Granger.
