City ethics

March 22, 2018

It appears that the mayor is blocking the recommendations of the city ethics review commission.

El Chuqueno wrote about it here.

There are other areas where the city should clean up it’s act.

One example is with the city’s parliamentarian.

Currently the position is filled by the city attorney.

She has admitted in public that council has violated their meeting rules while she remained silent.

We deserve better

Egg beaters

It looks as though the city has the egg-beaters on the freeway working.

This is better

Be nice

March 19, 2018

This came in the other day, I don’t know who the author is:

Often the school shooters have been found to be outcasts:  the ones excluded, neglected and bullied.  For sure none of them were the “popular” kids.  So I’ve got a suggestion for all of those students walking out of school today in protest.  How about walking right back in and befriending some of those students you leave out at recess and never sit with at lunch.  Those you laugh at and make snarky remarks about within earshot.  Wanna change the climate of your school?  Then get your asses back in there and BE NICE TO EVERYONE!

I don’t know if the idea would help with the shooting problem but it seems like a good idea in general.

We deserve better
