The city commission says we should put in an application to fill Sue Howell's term as city commissioner as if applying for a job. Is that maybe like taking applications for police chief?
Be sure to have a list of the towns-ah, streets that will be an acceptable home address for the candidate. Oh, yes, and the telephone number of the candidate's boss. And wow, we have the mayor's assurance that the commission never "double-teams anybody."
Ridiculous as it sounds, this is not the first time applications for city commissioner have been solicited. That happened a few years ago, and applications were submitted. Of course, none were deemed acceptable, so the commissioner's seat remained vacant until the next election.
But that won't happen this time, assuming the pre-selected person applies. As a couple of our city officials are wont to say, "It's a done deal."
The request for applications is likely meant to convince the citizens of how democratic and 'fair' the commission is.
No such thing. It seems that deals are done, decisions are made, vengeance is extracted, people are slandered, fired, hired, all in secret by our city commission, and this is no exception. After the applications are made and when an acceptable length of time has passed so that Electrans will think the commissioners have seriously considered all the applications (NOT!), the person already chosen will be revealed.
How dumb do they think we are?
Pretty dumb, actually. We continue to elect them to office, don't we?
