Brutus wrote about the city manager’s recent speech to a group downtown in City manager speaks of “undue tax burden”.
I followed the link to the El Paso Times article and read that she had said something else disturbing to me:
“Some times you have people who have really great visions and are really forward thinking and sometimes they are a little ahead of their time and they push the envelop a little to [sic] far and a little too fast. But you have to do that to make change. We did a lot of really great things and I am really proud to be a part of the organization and the community.”
Too far, too fast
I googled “define too” and got this definition: “to a higher degree than is desirable, permissible, or possible; excessively“.
In other words more than they should have.
Try these explanations and see what you get:
“Officer, I wasn’t speeding too much”.
“I didn’t steal too much”.
“I didn’t mean to hurt you too badly”.
Proud
It seems that her quote may define her administration. I think she was saying that the end justifies the means.
That is precisely how we get out of control governments.
Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.

“Keep ’em in the dark and don’t let them vote” is the Wilsonian vision of progressive leadership. The people have spoken to the tune of 74% their opinion of her leadership philosophy.
September 2014 equals end of an error for El Paso.

I don’t have the exact quote, but the most recent but El Paso Inc quotes a speech in which Ms. Wilson says that the last council came in with an “agenda” and pursued it. They certainly did pursue their own agenda and might as well have spit in the faces of constituents. Hopefully this council has reps who believe their first responsibility is to represent constituents not push their own agendas.
There is no doubt Ms. Wilson is proud of the steamrolling the last council did. Can we hope the next CM remains neutral and non-political? Dream on.
