She's a coward, plain and simple. Any elected official who doesn't maximize their opportunities for no-holds bared discussions with their constituency qualifies for that sobriquet. unfortunately for us, we're stuck with a clown that will only hold open meetings when you bring a checkbook.
So, who's more despicable then that?
Why, our very own Mayor McFly, Tim "The Liar" Leave-it.
Leave-it is best known as local lying scum, a slimeball who defrauded the voters with his lies about opposing tolls, my best efforts notwithstanding (Yes, I warned you all he was lying) so he could use the more gullible to his advantage.
Because he got sick of so many reminding him that he was a lying, one-term scumbag, he ended town hall meetings, yet another broken campaign promise, and then strived to censor those outraged at his despicable conduct at city council meetings as well.
Well, here's a moronic article about an idiotic plan to stifle the ongoing opposition to his continued, rotten presence in the City Hall Palace, while still, technically, holding what he calls "town hall meetings" but which, of course, are nothing of the sort..
After more than a year, Vancouver town halls to return
Format tweaked to allow one-on-one sessions
Vancouver Mayor Tim Leavitt answers questions at a town hall meeting at Hudson's Bay High School on April 21, 2010.
Tuesday, January 3, 2012
Think of it as speed dating with the Vancouver City Council.
The city’s elected officials are bringing back their traveling town halls with the public, idle since November 2010, but with a tweaked format.
Instead of having all seven members at the front answering questions from one person at a time, each councilor will sit at his or her own table and speak with a small group, Mayor Tim Leavitt said.
“It’s a much more inviting atmosphere for everybody to come and speak with council, versus just those few who would grab the microphone and use it as a soapbox,” he said.
Leavitt said last year that he suspended town hall meetings — a 2009 campaign promise — “due to the rancor and disrespect of others demonstrated by a handful of individuals.”
Since then, the city council has held citizen forums at its bimonthly consent agenda meetings, where residents and nonresidents alike can speak to the city council on any topic, but the city has held no town hall gatherings at locations outside City Hall.
More, if you can stomach it.Because the holidays mean no citizen forums are planned for January, Leavitt said it’s time for a town hall. The meeting is set for 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Jan. 17 at Clark College at Columbia Tech Center, 18700 S.E. Mill Plain Blvd.
I get that a lying weasel like Leave-it doesn't ever want to face the music, but the fact is that opposition to this clown crosses all ages, parties, races and both genders.
He can run... but he can't hide.
