Given that we are supposed to be governed by a democracy as long as your facts are correct, I see nothing offensive about them. In fact, I would like to know if my hard earned dollars are being misspent so that I can take corrective action at the next election.<br /><br />This is my first visit to your blog, but the sheer stupidity (not to mention disrespect for the hard earned dollars of the Aurora tax payer) of the Mayor / council to run a 1/2 page ad in the Banner about this issue encouraged me to read your blog! <br /><br />Keep up the good work!<br /><br />BarryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-89076005764884370312009-07-15T11:11:37.238-05:002009-07-15T11:11:37.238-05:00My father would be so proud, Evelyn.

I'm betting McRoberts and Collins-Mrakas), I bet the GOS all signed. Why wouldnt' they? <br /><br />Now the Mayor can't talk about the letter till she gets some legal advice. I wonder just how far she intends this cart of hers to drag her horse? Gosh!<br /><br />Did she obtain legal advice BEFORE she asked everyone to sign a letter?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-24404927624589276002009-07-10T11:48:55.864-05:002009-07-10T11:48:55.864-05:00Great, how much more is this going to cost us?

I’m guessing it will never come. She as usual; has gone on the offensive to cover up an “assumed attack” on her.<br /><br />I would like to see how much of the towns’ money she has wasted on legal fees to meet her political needs.Something Fishy in Aurorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726534309844275484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-21882500810484775452009-07-06T10:40:46.927-05:002009-07-06T10:40:46.927-05:00So what kind of response did you get?So what kind of response did you get?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-20435164576741544932009-07-04T11:56:07.496-05:002009-07-04T11:56:07.496-05:00Bravo, Cllr Buck!

You may feel that you are standing alone in this fight but please be assured that you have the support of many.<br /><br />"Except that your reluctance to accept the reality of politics creates an additional and unnecessary tension within Council."<br /><br />I think this point that you made is at the crux of many of the problems with this mayor. She and her supporters (elected and otherwise) don't seem to grasp the importance of criticism and dissent in the political process. <br /><br />Whether they are thin-skinned, have issues with self-esteem or are politically naive, they will brook no dissent. They need to realise that not everyone will 'sing from the same hymn book' - nor should they in a healthy democracy.<br /><br />Folks, this ain't Pollyanna-stopping-to-smell-the-roses-while-she-looks-at-a-rainbow-through-rose-coloured-glasses time!<br /><br />Keep fighting the good fight, Cllr Buck.William Cobbettnoreply@blogger.com
