Nincompoopery

Heard on the streets...stop the presses...

The one from OZ will also be a candidate in the next election.

Public opinion says he has the votes to get elected

********************************

Nonsense.

Here's another blast from the past.

When the election is over, people expect those elected to get down to work together taking care of town business.

Overt politics are not expected to rear its  ugly head until the next election, commonly called "the silly season"

I call it a celebration of Rights and Freedoms.

The term is not halfway over. Community discussion about the  what, when, how and why, is certainly likely to ebb and flo depending on  the hot topic of the moment.

That  the one from Oz  is likely to win the most votes to take the Mayor's chair in an election 2.5 years away is sheer  nincompoopery.

I am receiving the comment. I don't even know for sure  who is the one from Oz . I would have to go back and research  comments to find out. I am not going to do that.

I don't even know what comment was made to the Adam, Noah and that Lot  post at 12.44, on what day and I'm not going to seek that out either.

The community expects  Council to do what they undertook  to do in a previous  election and that is  commit themselves to the town's best interest from their  individual perspectives.

When the term is over, the electorate , one vote at a time, will make a judgement about who has done a half decent job  and deserves another term.

Having said that, judgement is being formed.  It is a work in progress.

Councillors need to apply themselves to the job at hand.

Making  calculated guesses and decisions that pander to special interest groups at the expense of   community interest is never a good idea.

It's  the common and jaded  public expectation.  It's what  special interest groups count on.

It's the task of a conscientious politician  to prove  otherwise.

That's what generates respect. 

All that requires is dogged determination.
