Resident dislikes political in-fighting in Crestwood!
I would like to respond to some of the comments on the blog; specifically the
Board of Aldermen Meeting of January 10th.
In over 30 years, there have always been problems now and then with politics
in our city, but I never saw it reach such epidemic proportions as it is
today. Many of the board members I knew years ago are deceased but I never thought
I would see some of our new young people who are serving now be so
mean-spirited. There is nothing more disgusting than a know-it-all rookie. And there
is nothing that upsets me more than to see people on our board of aldermen
allow anybody to get by with calling fellow aldermen names as happened on January
10th. You older aldermen who are seasoned by now, need to come down on people
who do that. Unless you feel that it is proper - in which case, maybe you
should resign. I wasn't at the meeting but it did happen and I believe it
because this has happened before. The President of the Board of Aldermen or the
Mayor needs to address this at an upcoming meeting. Using "street smarts" at a
Board of Aldermen meeting by someone who glorifies himself every Sunday in
church playing the "good guy" is a little hypocritical. I, for one, would hate
to come to a board of aldermen meeting and feel like I am at a boxing match.
The people on the board of aldermen should be solving the city's problems - not
creating them.

Maybe this should start the with Mayor. He has on several occassions interrupted citizens' comments when it was not what he wanted to hear. He did not bother to correct the comments, just interjected. This does not include rudeness to Alderman.
I seriously doubt that any elected official in the history of Crestwood, on any other board in the area, county, state, or entire country could possibly be more rude and divisive than Alderman Kelleher.He is in a class to himself. Since the night he was sworn in, he has been a total embarrassment to the entire community. He outdid himself at the January 10 BOA Meeting and due to a full house will never live it down. If this man thinks the constituancy approves this ridiculous behavior, well best he think again. The best thing he could do for the city right now is step down. He has hit a new low and there is no going back.
