As viciously as they hated Stoffa, Brown was going to be hated even more - and even before he took office. This is a workforce that threatened and insulted and maligned one of their own in Stoffa. They eat their young and brag about it. The only ideas they have is how to express unadulterated hatred for county Executive (fill in the blank).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-70003928107568226502015-03-04T14:36:30.110-05:002015-03-04T14:36:30.110-05:00The meeting is 3/5.

If he brings in a pick a day before a meeting, you tell him it will be addressed at the next meeting.<br /><br />The pick can do the job and even get paid in the meantime, in the capacity of acting so and so.<br />Would be nice if some of these jokers actually knew what they can and can't do.<br /><br />Of course passing an unnecessary ordinance is like a boner pill for a legislative body.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-70002235162712905412015-03-04T12:45:45.720-05:002015-03-04T12:45:45.720-05:00Is meeting tonight?

I see 6 things on the Agenda but mind as well say one since the committees and other reports never seem to give one.

What has DCED accomplished in over a year under this administration? Has it created any new jobs? Any improvements in infrastructure? DOUBTFUL. But Donaher gets whatever she wants in staff and is gobbling up divisions rightfully under Administration. The economic development aspect of that department is a duplication of effort to satisfy the parochial resentment of council. But it has been a farce since Donaher took over. She wants power but has no plan. And no jobs created, so far.

You yourself, Bernie has criticized several of his appointees, and in most cases they were shoved down council's throat at the last hour. The cause for this action is distrust of Brown and general dismay at his appointees. Even though it is not substantive in the grand scheme of things, it is a bold statement by council that they accept their duties to conduct due diligence with these appointees and need more time to thoroughly vet their backgrounds and qualifications.
