Ohare knows this but the facts diffuse his silly argument about Council voting displeasure with CSF. So what, they could have voted 9-0 to dump her and it would be as meaningless as Ohares Law license.<br /><br />County councils have zero power over Cabinet members. This was an Administration move period. It would be interesting to know why it happened but the Press won't cover it and Oahre won't report objectively on Stoffa.<br /><br />Hell, after the Republicans took control of Council in 2001 If I am not mistaken I believe at the behest of Angle they voted for a censure of County Executive Reibman, the only time it was ever done. Pure partisan politics since it had the effect and weight of a handful of dung. Same princilple here. <br /><br />The chickens of the Stoffa Administration are coming home to roost. More to follow. Wait until the massive deficit in Human Services is to big to hide even by the Press.<br /><br />Good Luck to the new County Councilmen, you are going to need it.
