Not thinking

Our El Paso Times published this article June 1, 2014.  The Times explained in the article that they had received “handwritten notes from several city representatives and others that were taken during the May 8 interviews with the four finalists, as well as during the City Council executive session that followed.

Executive session discussions are supposed to be private.  Notes taken by participants during executive session are subject to disclosure under our open records law.  Not destroying personal notes before leaving the meeting makes them subject to public disclosure.

I suppose that if I wanted to leak what had happened in the meeting then keeping written notes would be a good technique to use.

The doodling at the bottom of the page is illuminating.  It appears that the city representative was scribbling her initials like some daydreaming teenager.

This brings up the possibility that we may see a scientific phenomenon soon–a person who disappears through total self-absorption.

We deserve better

    I believe it is illegal to destroy any notes taken during interviews. All notes are subject to open records.

    One has to question and and be skeptical about the motives behind the release of these notes since they were provided without someone having to file a lawsuit. A classic case of manipulation.

    Looks to me like the council woman was simply designing the monogram for her bath towels on our time. Either that or the initials are code for “I love me. I love me. I love me.”
