Well, what a surprise. Not!
Sue Howell's resignation was predictable even before she was elected, and I think it was irresponsible in the extreme because if she had withdrawn before the election, there was a viable candidate ready to run.
The resignation appears to stick us with the same old, same old, so far as the city commission goes: lies, mindless loyalties, faulty reasoning, opposition to the public just for the sake of opposition, etc. ad infinitum.
Because of Ms. Howell's resignation, we're back to square one, literally. Her reasons for the resignation existed before she ran for office. So why did she run?
Only Pam Ward stands against the opposition of Warner, DeLizio, and Scott, with the recall election delayed until May. Ms. Scott can save herself from the disgrace and humiliation of possible defeat by resigning at the last minute before the election, thus avoiding for herself what the commission needlessly put Johnny Morris through.
In the meantime, There She Is.........for at least another 8 months.
So there's a 3-1 imbalance in which Warner, DeLizio, and Scott can appoint one of their flunkies to fill out Howell's term of office. Here we go again-and I, for one, am really, really tired of it.
I may have had some respect personally, professionally, and/or politically for those people at one time; I do not have it now.
