Volunteer Report on GBAD Meeting

 August 9, 2011 ⋅  Post a comment

The GUARDIAN is working the day job while there is still summer sun. The following report comes from a reader who attended Tuesday’s GBAD meeting. It was posted as a comment, so bear in mind the lack of vetting.

BY ERIC WEISS

Today’s GBAD meeting was just like the others except for 3 simple events.

–First is the new legal counsel NM or whatever his name is. Where did they dig up this guy? The guy was shaking like a leaf in front of a whopping crowed of 20. This is the legal counsel, but yet the put this out for RFP today? Huh? Just like most folks we are confused… but I am dumb….and not into that compliance BS!!!-remember

–Second, Stephanie asks for legal representation as the treasurer and again it was shot down by a 3-2 vote….do they not understand she will not sign the check until it is approved???…..again I will ask if it’s legit, what’s the harm? To this day and asking this question six (6) times on this forum NOBODY dares to answer this question…

–Third is Mike Fitzgerald. Where do I start. ( Hedoesn’t look you in the eye when confronted with a direct question). He actually has the cajones to make a motion to either have Stephanie removed as treasurer or removed from the board! Hy Chicago wanted to get it off the table so quick, the adjournment motion of the meeting came in the same sentence as the roll call vote. Luckily Chi-town remembered the Obama civic responsibilities and voted to keep Stephanie!!!

Point of interest. During the meeting they motioned to go into executive session. Which was not on the agenda and was not discussed during the meeting? The topic was the RFP for marketing for the city. How can they move to go into executive session (which means the public has to leave, for you non-library folks) and discuss in private the funding for marketing in the city??

Dave is that legit?-If you dig a little deeper you might find why the motion was done with a unanimous vote of 5-0–the first time all of them agreed on anything in 5 meetings? Why now and this topic, and why in executive session?

In the meantime I do encourage everyone at home to make a J Corino original in tribute to Mike F-(see below)…listen the guy be a idiot, but you have to applaud his choice in food….

Just the smell of these meatballs cooking will bring back childhood memories of “spaghetti night” at your home. Ground beef, sausage, and a mixture of Italian seasonings blend perfectly to create juicy meatballs your whole family will adore. Serve them over your favorite pasta with a chunky marinara sauce and garnish with dried oregano.

Ingredients

• 1 recipe Mama G-May Marinara
• 1 pound ground beef
• 12 ounces bulk Italian sausage, hot or sweet
• 1/2 cup fine, dry bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

1. Prepare Mama G-May Marinara. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl combine ground beef, sausage, bread crumbs, milk, egg, parsley, cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined. Form mixture into balls, about 1-1/2 inches in diameter.
2. In a large skillet, cook the meatballs in hot olive oil over medium heat for 10 minutes or until browned, turning occasionally.
3. Bring Mama G-May Marinara to boiling. Gently place meatballs into sauce. Stir gently to coat with sauce. Cover and cook for 30 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the meatballs registers 160 degree F.

Makes about 3 screw balls.
