If it's not already clear I should indicate I do take poetic licence on occasion simply to elaborate on a theme.
I make no apology .
I want the blog to be read and speculation has a place . As it would in any casual conversation
about politics.
So.....when I say I think the Mayot's campaign organisation has determined a strategy ,of course I do not know that as a fact. Obviously I am not a member of the Mayor's campaign organisation and I don't know who is.
How would I know that?
I do know those who benefited from funds handed out liberally and favourable decisions for special interest groups during the term are likely to be ,at least loosely, campaign supporters of the Mayor.
Also a pattern of comments received lately disclose an effort afoot to discredit the blog as nothing more than an opinion piece full of lies and inuendo.
Well...you know .. a body needs to defend herself.,,, using whatever means available.
All's fair in love and politics.
Over the years, I have collected a few scars. It should surprise no-one that I'm willing to inflict a few
The Mayor misuses his authority on a regular basis in Council.
I have too much respect for the office and the institution to get down and dirty during a Council meeting.
I have advised him calmly, "if you do not allow me to say what I have to say here, I have other options."
And Indeed I have.
I wish the man were not so defensive. It wouldn't hurt to answer a few questions in private once in a while to prevent misunderstandings. Even Cllr Thompson has increased the # of times when he complains about a lack of adequate information & he seems to be more in the Mayor's loop than anyone else.
ReplyDeleteCouncillor Thompson never has enough information. He said this week on some issue that 4 pages weren't enough for him. He wanted more pages.
ReplyDeleteWe might not know who is working on his campaign, But we can start at the other end and eliminate those we know would not be on board.
ReplyDeleteBuck for mayor
ReplyDeleteOf the original slate, I think he will share resources only with Cllr Thompson. Perhaps Humfryes as she has gone along nicely with him.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see that election sign, 09:15.
ReplyDeleteCllr Ballard gets his nomination on the 19th. He will not longer be taking any on-going responsibility for Council decisions.
ReplyDeletethank god at least we get rid of Ballard!!!! And why is everyone else waiting to register ... seems like game play to me!
ReplyDelete11:27
ReplyDeleteHe has just moved into a different play-ground. It is all just a game to him.
As to your question, why would anyone rush to register ? Let the current Council self-distruct. They are all involved in spending money stupidly. There is no rush
13:55 agreed - but - I would like as much time as possible to get to know the people I am being asked to chose from ......
