Now the mayor will tell you
that this is strictly a business methodology applied to local government
that will provide "structure." Perhaps such Machiavellian gestures
provide some type of benefit in the private business sector but federal
and state law promotes openness and balance to insure that government
is functioning properly.
A major question is why would
our mayor and several of our council members who are lame ducks want to
be changing our charter at this stage in their term of office? They have
been in office for nearly a decade and they now decide to amend the main
governing document of our city on their way out.
After reading the mayor's "big
box decision" editorial in the Update newsletter with all of its
inaccuracies and misinformation, the last thing that I want is his tinkering
with the city's charter.
Please contact your council
members and local state representatives and let them know that this is
not the appropriate time to make changes to the charter. Their e-mail
addresses are: Mayor Bob Lenox [email protected]; Annie McMenamin [email protected];
Bob Brooks [email protected]; Carol Fritz [email protected]; Dan
Tennant [email protected].
