Is The Meeting Over Yet?

Were those 43 minutes spent before moving to the actual agenda items at last night’s BoS meeting foreplay or an opening monologue?!?!?!?

If Mr. Ackerman will not be back in time to run the next meeting, and his #2 is in charge again, we call first dibs on the Starbucks/Red Bull concession stand to keep everyone awake!

Dude...Where's My Agenda Item?

So, the “call for election” of a new Board of Supervisor Chairman was removed from Thursday's (3/16) Board of Supervisors meeting agenda.

Hmm....divine intervention, coincidence, the power of the written (blog) word or a logical yet unexplained reason? One wonders………

Nice E-T Mention

Good piece by Sarah Mausolf in today’s ET about us. With regard to surveys and their results, without providing the total number of individual responses, the votes are unscientific at best. This is why media organizations like CNN, CNBC, MSNBC and Fox put huge disclaimers on these type of polls as you don’t know how many people are actually voting and how many are only voting once.

Just to clarify a reference made by Sarah, unlike any other organizations in our area, Residents Who Care (RWC) has one purpose: to recruit candidates to volunteer and/or run for public office.

Coincidence or Power Grab?

On the March 16, 2006 Board of Supervisors agenda under “unfinished business” there is a call for “election of chairman.” At the annual January reorganization meeting the board could not agree on a new chairman so Mr. Ackerman remained in that post. Word on the street is that Mr. Ackerman is away this week and will not be attending this meeting. If this is the case, is this coincidental timing or a behind-the-scenes power grab? One wonders……
