Assembly shennnagins

Gabby walked off the floor the other day. I have not always agreed with her , but I have always admired her stance on accountability & ethics. Hat's off to you Ms. Leadoux! Make a stand and make the status quo maintaining legislators think.
It is time our state woke up and realized that our elected officials are watched and held accountable.
I wish that Gabby could sit in tonight at our borough assembly meeting. There are rumors that the ending will be remarkable. The borough assembly will re-visit the motion to pay for attorney fees. These fees were accrued by assembly members who joined in Mel Stephens lawsuit against the borough.
The assembly members in the suite against our community are miffed. Miffed because, after voicing their opinions, they were out voted and hence forced to follow the democratic process we all adhere to.
My belief is this. Not only should we, as tax payers not fund their petty grievances, we demand a recall of any board member that chooses to sue the very governing board they sought seat on.
That and they should not be allowed a vote on any motion that is directly affected by the outcome.
'nuff said. I am off to listen to the meeting and see what happens.
Peace
Griff

What did you think? I listened and it got good just in time, because I was seriously dozing off.

Did it seem to you at the very end when Stutes was talking that she was a lot less confrontational? I think she can count and realizes that if she and Oswalt and Abell have to sit out with conflicts, the other four (three anyway) won't vote to pay them.

And honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if maybe the head parliamentarian knows this and is letting this stretch out just to be a little extra f-u to the dissidents.

However, this can only end with the payments someday being made -- OR the three really suing the borough. What a cluster of fudge that'll be.

Stutes was less confrontational because she shouldn't have been talking.
You can't excuse yourself from the debate/vote, and then debate. She may have sounded more willing to listen, but the fact that she ignored the char and pushed on shows her true colors.
my spin?
She bares watching and perhaps all three cry-baby's should move on.
More later,

you know that, that was a bunch of BS in the first place.

Why can't you all just leave Gab alone :)

Hey Gab more pizza please.

GAB ROCKS.......ok no more drunk blogging

any way Gab works hard and always does, what she thinks is for the good of Kodiak and Alaska ......What more do we need

kodiakgriff said...

I agree with the drunk blogging part, after all I was commending Gabby, not condemning her.
It is our assembly that needs pruning.

Griff I was not saying you was talking bad about Gab, just a pun aimed at those that do.
