Ok stop with all the crying.

I did not close comments because I wanted to silence the recall petitioner’s voices, after four were taken to Hood River County elections yesterday to be told that it must start in our City Hall and does not go to County Election Office until the signature verification process. You need to know the rules.

I also did not close comments because I am on a Committee and want to stop bad stuff about me from being said.

I also did not close comments because I am protecting this Council for all the reasons I have been accused of.

To all that I say;

It is not the Council that needs recalled. It is the bad policies, lack of a management, lack of integrity and lack of fiduciary responsibility that this City has been counseled by that needs to change.

But if you want a forum here it is, so the pot calling the kettle black, have at it.
While you are doing that I will be trying to create a government that runs more efficiently and effective. Working on means to create a result orientated government and finding ways to do more with less. Working towards a system of accurate and reliable financial information, so program cost and performance can be measured. So implications for decisions on programs and the impact of those decisions will not be blindly entered into anymore without having a solid means to measure performance of the city at all levels by implementing a little oversight.

So go ahead and have your forum while I prove my point in mine.

As far as what you say about me, all I can say to that is, have at it. I will not be a participant any longer, I shut it down as I felt it conflicted with me being a committee member.
Now after all the calls and emails of outrage will open up comments again as I do get the point that; I did this and that to them and now that I will be in a position to “get what you want you shut off our chance to call you on what you do”.

There you go I will be working to fix all that is broken that this council was left with.    

I am not protecting this council. The only thing to date I have seen on this council is they were left with a royal mess. Basically FUBAR!!!

I guarantee you that if I find anything like I did in the past council I will do the same thing to this council that I did to the last council and the council before and the council before and the council before……….

Have your fight for power while I fight for oversight, control, focusing on fiduciary responsibility and paying attention to the effectiveness and performance of our government, to get us out of the mess all the previous councils since I have been here have left us with today.

So I scrambled to get someone else to monitor this blog for me after all the outrage. If there is a problem that comes back to me I will shut it down.

The email notification of comments will not be going to my inn box anymore so I am out of it there now.

I am distancing myself the best I can.

I will not give my video capturing equipment away as I have a multi monitor computer and use it to watch Satellite TV on while working on my computer or to record programs I may miss to watch later.

So for now, as I said, I will record if possible and that I will have to put on the blog personally.
If video uploads prevent me from using my computer as it has. Then this is a problem I will have to solve and am working on a sollution for tha but it may take a little time for me to pass this off to someone else. It is being worked on though. I want to pass that buck and just keep it as I have had it for years Just me recording so I can really catch everything.
So knock yourselves out.

But keep it clean and keep it nice as if I get one complaint it goes down.
