Northampton County Council voted unanimously last night, with little discussion, to require the Executive to provide seven working days notice for any of his future appointments. This is a reaction to several of Executive John Brown's cabinet selections, in which Council was provided with little advance notice.
Five Council members must confirm the Executive's cabinet appointments, as well as his picks for the county's numerous boards and commissions.
Prior to the vote, Controller Steve Barron recommended passage, warning Council of "five o'clock specials."

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Such a brave move on the part of council. What happened when they voted on the contract max? Remember this lot on election day. A wake up call is needed.
ReplyDeleteDidn't Barron support the president who lied when he said all bills would be posted on line for 30 days before signing? Isn't Barron a member of the "we have to pass the bill to see what's in it" party that approved a 1,600 page bill without reading it? Yes. Yes he is.

ReplyDeleteHopefully the people of NorCo will remember the debacle of voting both Brown in and also the clowns on council. Desperate need for change!
