Can someone post the recorded vote. I understand it was 4 councillors yes and 4 no with the Mayor breaking the tie.
I am sure Abel was a yea and Buck a nay. I would like to have clarity on the how the remainder voted

A recorded vote forms part of the record of a meeting. It can be found in the minutes of the meeting.
The purpose of requesting a recorded vote is to ensure one's vote on an issue is a matter of record.
For this vote, Councillors Abel,Thompson,Humphreys and Pirrie voted Yea.
Councillors Buck, Gaertner,Gallo and Ballard voted Nay.
Not for the first time. It's funny - and ironic - how many times you vote in agreement with the Morrisite trio.

ReplyDeleteDo you not think it is time to give up on the Morrisite dead-horse ?
Sure, 13:46, right after Councillor Buck does. So much of what has motivated her in this term is directly connected to the just previous one.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a "dead horse" to everyone.
Funny and ironic as it is, @12:57, it is evidence of at least one thing - Evelyn does not take contrary positions to that group out of spite or vengeance.
ReplyDeleteOne theory for the votes to line up the way you note is to recognize that the trio to which you refer DO seem to regularly vote, en-masse, contrary to the Mayor. This, one might interpret is in the interests of the former power base, elected or otherwise, with or without future political aspirations. A by-product of this voting (anti) pattern is that whenever the Mayor takes an ill-advised position on a matter, and the Trio (predictably) vote against him, they are likely to be in line with Evelyn, who more often than not, owing to her experience-based judgment and her lack of "beholdeness" (word?) to special interests, gets it right.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

ReplyDeleteYour too funny! Right!...but funny
I beg to disagree, 14:25. There was necessary clean-up early in the term. For the most part, it got done. What has occurred since is the result of current councillors for whatever reasons.
ReplyDeleteI think people are fooling themselves if they think the Morris regime is gone .... gee I wonder who was behind "Town Clowncil" .......
