A Burr Under the Government Saddle
His name is not Dan Kramer Burr, its simply Dan Kramer. The
Burr stands for what he is, metaphorically: a burr under their
saddle.
The their stands for Delawares Sussex County Council.
I found out about Dan on SunshineReview.org, which not
long ago honored him as Sunshine Troublemaker of the Week.
A local papers profile on the semi-retired bean farmer filled in
some fascinating details.
He sits near the back of the room, and, before meetings end,
he stands up to introduce himself. This is Dan Kramer, he
explains . . . but doesnt really need to. In Sussex County
hes attended more meetings than even the elected officials.
The paper calls him an ombudsman . . . and that fits, for his
telephone answering machine sports an interesting outgoing
message: Your problem is my problem, it intones.
And, by going to every meeting, he can help. His voice carries
weight.
He carries a copy of the Freedom of Information Act to every
meeting. And hes a stickler on a number of subjects. People
call me a watchdog, he admits, but goes on to clarify: Im
really a junkyard dog who will bite you in the gasket.
My kind of troublemaker.
I hope you have someone like him in your area. If you dont,
the position is yours to take. According to Dan Kramer, the
rewards are many.
This is Common Sense. Im Paul Jacob.
