Charter commission meeting, 11/15/05 (7:00 PM)
Ladies, and Gentlemen, we have a very important meeting of the Crestwood charter commission on November 15, 2005 at 7:00 PM. On the agenda in the number 4 slot is a review of the Mayor's tie breaking vote power for any vote or ordanance!
If you ask me this is another way for the anti Roy Robinson faction to repeal some of the Mayor's powers! Please explain to me like I am a three year old who better to break the tie? The city administrator, the city attorney, the city finance director, or, hey, what about we pick someone from the audience? (note, none of these people were elected by us, or anyone else for that matter).
Folk's we elected the Mayor to do a very difficult job, and he is doing his level best to do it! So, may I suggest that he be given the tools to do it! For once, and for all, can we just stop the petty politics, and think about Crestwood for a change?
Please join me, and your neighbors at this meeting! Let's tell them what we think of this "idea"! I hope to see you all there.
No 19

Another comment regarding the "tie breaking issue"!
Did you attend the meetings? From your comment, I think not.
The verbiage in the Charter was to clarify that the Mayor COULD break a tie regarding ordinances!
Get off your band wagon!
But this is my "band wagon". I am happy to see you found it though.
Please, let's hear from you again soon!
With all due respect to the anaoymous responder, If they would look st the time line of this post, they would observe that this was written before the day of the meeting. Thus it was impossible to attend "the meeting", because the meeting hadden't happened yet!
If the writer attended the meeting before there was a meeting, I am impressed, as I have yet to figure out how to do that.
The tie breaking Charter change regarding the Mayor's power to break a tie on appointments to boards, scheduled for the ballot in April, is but one more example of the pathetic attempts by the ex-administration to destabilize Crestwood. If a majority of residents voted for a new Mayor, why would they want the losing candidate and his defeated ideals to maintain control of city boards and financials. The voters spoke, they wanted to hear new voices, see new faces, seek better ideas. In desperation, however, the clinging spenders could not let go so an idea was born - let's handicap the new Mayor's mandate,let's desecrate the Charter. Let's deprive him of new voices, new ideas, new hope. Let's renig on term limits, so the has beens can run again. Let's finagle a way to censure the new Mayor. And in the doing, we can revive this pox inherited from the past. Those who cannot read between the lines of this latest travesty, are doomed. Crestwood people have wised up. Progress, not decay saith the enlightened. Thus, in April new faces will run for office and hopefully the old ones will find a new post to kick.
