The nature of the encroachment upon American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer; it eats faster and faster every hour. The revenue creates pensioners, and the pensioners urge for more revenue.The seekers more numerous and more corrupt, and every day increases the circles of their dependents and vanity, luxury, foppery, selfishness, meanness, and downright venality swallow up the whole of society.

While it may be a bit of a catharsis to point out the dishonesty of the New Faces clan, don't think for a minute they will ever be able to accept responsibility for their own actions, regardless of how clearly they were responsible. "There were no problems when I was mayor", right. Bernard didn't quit, he was forced out! Morgan didn't quit, he was forced out! Pricher didn't quit, he was forced out! The volunteers didn't quit, they were just repeatedly collectively otherwise occupied. The whole "bring the city to it's knees" routine of engineered resignations and non-response are justified because this town needs their superior intellect, regardless of their past performance, regardless of the cost. There are no limits, literally. Endanger life and property in the pursuit of "power", no problem, this town owes us authority. Lie to the majority to protect a few from responsibility for their own actions? Absolutely! It's the right thing to do! They are out for anything and everything they can get for themselves and their cohorts, the cost to the rest of society it completely irrelevant. Don't believe there are people truly that egocentric? Just talk to any one of them, they'll tell you to your face. They hate anyone who doesn't recognize and respect their omnipotence and infallibility. Again, regardless of their past performance.
Seven employees Brad, you're blaming this Council for seven employees?
1) Bruce Bilodeau - your watch, his fault.
2) Bernard Seegar - quit, your watch, your help to give him $18,000.
3) John Morgan - quit, your watch, he resigned and sent an email to everyone touting his disaffection, very professional!
4) Shaun Osborne - finally someone I guess you could blame the this Council for, but I think his position elimination had a lot to do with him not doing his work. At least he can draw unemployment and job search with a clear record.
5) Sue Ryan - quit, the smartest one in the office, she understood that she was not related to anyone when Rich Carson cut her hours and went looking elsewhere. I would blame nepotism for that, but okay, blame this Council.
6) Jeff Pricher - quit, publicly quit, not "forced out" I would blame his over-inflated ego for not working for the city, but himself. Standing there, admitting he changed time cards, did not understand the budget but defiantly demanding that the Council(the unpaid) Council members come see him in "his" firehouse. Applying for FEMA grants that left us with the financial responsibility for the entire package. Oh, he's a package, all right.
So Brad, six, not seven - three on YOUR tenure, one you have been assisting in the background to the detriment of the City.
Truth is something, ain't it?
Your gang (acting like thugs or brown shirts) are not better, just louder.
This Council is about as much use as a Betamax video recorder. The four must have been born on a highway because that's where most accidents happen. In the words of Groucho Marx, "He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don't let that fool you. He really is an idiot."
Oh please keep your Beta Max, it died for the same reason your recall will. It seems pretty brazen for you to call someone an idiot when you do not know that this City gave away the rights to be a fire and ambulance department in 2003. Don’t believe me just read Ordinance 361 and all Ordinances and Resolutions it repealed along with a provision in Ordinance 361 that reads “but not limited to”, meaning any other Ordinance or Resolution as long as this Ordinance is in effect. Which means any action establishing any powers to be a fire and ambulance department as well as any new actions concerning the fire and ambulance department as long as this Ordinance is in effect is null and void. The fact is the only powers we have are those allowed by the State Fire Marshall at this time. So who is the idiot now? The fact of the matter is it was those Council members in September of 2003 who gave away the powers to be a fire and ambulance service and somehow forgot to re-establish them in around March of 2004. Again who are the idiots? As a matter of fact it is every idiot who has voted in support of anything concerning our fire and ambulance department for being such idiots, not to read our own laws to know they did not have the power to take any action with this on the books. And again who are the idiots? Should this department fail I am sure those idiots (as you call them) will have a personal financial liability placed on them. So let me ask you, what is your plan now that you have built your recall around actions this Council did or did not do, when the fact is this Council had no powers to do anything other than to re-establish powers idiots (as you call them) before them gave away. After all we saw your recall and raised you with one of your own. So now I ask is the rental of the Pavilion going to be a new strategy session to blame this Council for this as well. Or are you going to wake up enough to realize you are being led by the very idiots (as you call them yourself) who created and made this mess worse?
Here we go again, personal insults rather than facts. Who do you think wants to run the town next? Because there is no way any of the hole-in-the-fence gang, including Helfrich, Dean or Storm are going to allowed in.
Just like the rest of the country, you still need to have the middle-of-the-road votes.
Oh that's right, the three listed above are not long-time CL residents and haven't earned the necessary respect needed or is it lacking inbreeding-or is it they are intelligent-or is it they are good, honest people-or is it they don't need' power' in their lives by running this town, because they actually have lives... Personal insults, Cody, buddy, learned it all from your gang.... I just won't stoop low enough to be a liar too.
No, they will not be able to garner the necessary support in the town from the citizens who are not in their faction or in neither faction. They have been tainted, as it were, with the brush already.
P.S. If you have followed this blog at all, you would know that Cody doesn't feel the need to post anonymously, and that I am not him.
P.P.S. "Not better, just louder", shoe fits sure got that right
Wait, wait, these are service personnel, brave firefighters that risk their lives? What a bunch of whiny little babies.
Waaah, I don't want to go out if the truck isn't checked by my special friend, Jeffie, Waaah, I don't want to respond if my special friend is not in charge, Waaah, I'm scared of the big mean Cody. 'Cause he doesn't like us doing things the wrong way. Waaah, we don't want Zerfing in charge because we don't like him trying to do what's right for the city instead of what's right for us. Waaah, we need three captains of course that leaves what? six people that the three are in charge of? Gonna divide them up so you each can boss around two others? Look, look, I'm important and I won a popularity contest. Jeesh, what a batch of retards. Maybe they can cry a fire out.
Looked like Don blew a gasket,the other night.Gyda's getting tired of changing his Depends.He's been looking for the 911 files all over city hall.Guess what Don, there at the Fire station.Oh thats right the City Council does'nt go there.Also do we realy need a lawyer at every meeting.Thats expensive,and besides we have Kevin,he seems to know everything.I have been hoping since Jan this Council would work for a better cause.But it's been 7 months of hell.chopping,hacking,Destroying our community and tearing down bridges of friendship and support from other Gorge cities.
Glad you found the files, now if you all could just find a backbone (and $38,000 + monthly tower rental). Sorry to hear about Lance's recall, someone said they got 200 signatures in less than 2 hours, he's done for sure. They didn't even need a 5 Alarm Witch Doctor to get people to sign, amazing!! It's been 6 years of burning budgets, bridges, egos and our wallets. The air is finally clear enough to see why all the smoke was necessary, complete incompetence!! Tempers seem to be boiling over down at the Fire Hall/Nintendo Club. How long before somebody tattles and you all are exposed for what you really are? Integrity, Bravery? lol Don't you need a backbone for both of those?
If one is to quotes rules, and use them to act snarky, one should be aware of all of them.
Cody will not be appointed as the Chairman of the City Services Committee, he will appointed as a member. He may be elected Chairman after the positions are (re)filled.
You cannot ass/u/me, but I'm willing to bet that is just how it goes, again.
It seems like Lance would be easy to get out of there - how quickly we all forget about Jeff H. copying (verbatim) Lance's speech. How ironic - a cop and a teacher...cheating, of all things?!
I can't wait for this recall, finally Lance's arrogance will be muted!

if this about the four being recalled good job you did this town good....keep up the good work.and you did get the idiot part right...
