Gonna get that registration increase from the commoners, hell or high water. Somebody has to pay for all the improvements needed to host more migration to our fair corner of the world. That sucking sound is your wallet emptying, and the din of Big City Growth that will take your peaceful living away.

Ah yes…The corruption. Means absolutely nothing.

As long as all the Northenders show up to vote, and the base doesn’t (because they benefit from the increased property tax to subsidize their large families in the school system, infrastructure, etc.), it’s not going to change.

Props to those that took the time to stand up…Only to be shot down.

Sounds like the dems are uniting and doing their normal display or expecting every one else had better be tolerant but we can be as intolerant as we want.

We don’t see republicans getting thrown out of public hearings like we do the Dems.

The most important thing is that those we elect follow the law. If they break the law they stand accountable. We have too many elected and appointed persons who break the law and there is no consequence.

The assumptions we make about others often become self-fulfilling prophecies. Assume the best in others and the outcomes will likely be good. Assume the worst in others and the outcomes will likely be bad.

I would hope that a diverse group of elected officials would lead by example and assume the best in each other.

Awesome fireworks!

Anyone who thinks government transactions are 100% in the open and transparent are living in LaLa Land.

Go to the local watering hole AFTER a city council meeting, during legislature, or after the ACHD meeting and see who you find… Anyone think the council members and politicos don’t discuss business in such get-togethers?

Emails? heck, text messages have not even been mentioned. Real shady things happen in person- not in writing. C’mon.

So what did the Prosecutor say?

Pretty simple C Baker- if you think so, pass it to prosecutor’s office and let it go. It is not YOUR call as to the interpretation.

I hope 3 of the 5 are replaced.

Baker’s condescending manners and tone make her unfit for office.

Total disfunction. Baker has been nothing but miserable since her days on the BCC.

After reading much of this I am impacted by two things, at least.

Hansen seems to be trying to say that the legislation they are trying to pass should have more specific terms, for more accountability. Does anyone see that also?

That commissioners are substituting feelings, attitudes, and beliefs as facts, when that may not be the case.

That these things cannot be decided in November means that this is not the current agenda issue being discussed.

Notwithstanding, of course.

Really bad political karma for all concerned. Why are they doing so much business after hours and on their own devices?

ACHD, God bless your taxpayers.
