Why do ...Evelyn, why don't some people get it? Why do they think for one second that your goal is, or should be, to attract bees? Your RESPONSIBILITY, as an elected official, is to follow the rules, and your conscience, and to exercise good judgement in the managing of the town's affairs. And when you see things that ain't right, you speak up, as loudly (metaphorically) as possible. That is what you do. And you should keep doing it. <br /><br />The complete irony in this is that it is the people who try to attract bees that cause the trouble!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-63753316197659902162011-12-30T15:56:51.927-05:002011-12-30T15:56:51.927-05:00Some good could come out of this budget experience...Some good could come out of this budget experience if the individual Councillors decide that budget should be all abut what Aurora NEEDS and nothing at all about what staff think Aurora needs.

...I do believe there is method to Ev's madness.<br />She is assured of standing alone, a voice in the wilderness.<br />In every situation she is alone ( or at very least, in the minority).<br />She is always on the sidelines shouting, " i was right. i told you so. i alone."<br />When the "others" make good decisions, it does not matter what Ev said.<br />Ah but when problems are uncovered that's when Ev rises to the top.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-32808214884864251502011-12-30T12:36:12.262-05:002011-12-30T12:36:12.262-05:00"Me against the world"

In the kindest way of course."<br /><br />Tongue firmly in cheek with that statement. <br /><br />In the past you have rubbed most council members and staff the wrong way with your bull in a china shop methodology. You continue that with this council. <br /><br />You have never heard that old saying that it is easier to attract bees with honey than it is with vinegar. You will never learn nor will you be a Dale Carnagie poster child.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
