I just got back from the Park Board officer elections meeting. Here are a few choice tidbits:
* Commissioner Jon Olson was obnoxious and belittling toward Commissioner John Erwin - the audience was stunned into stillness. * The Park Board displayed good judgement in allowing public comment, virtually everyone who wanted to speak. * The rest of the Bandidos displayed complete disregard for the will of the public and voted uniformly for Jon Olson for President. * Commissioner Fine displayed good judgement in removing himself from election as President or Vice President. * There were no members of the audience that spoke in favor of the backroom dealings of the Bandidos. All were contra. Most were quite eloquent. * Citizen Ann Berget gave one of the most poignant, direct, and eloquent statements that I have seen in a public venue. The Bandidos have elected (literally) more of the same. I have to go hit the shower - I feel dirty. Regards, Jason Stone | Hale __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
