Perhaps silly was a bit strong John but I have been very frustrated with you saying things like "Larry spits in our faces." You have been doing that sort of thing for many months.
What I took issue with was :
And as an aside to that point, please correct me if I am wrong, but does that mean that the proposed budget was prepared solely by Commissioner Blain? I am sure that Commissioner Blain is an honorable man but he, like everyone else, has biases. If projects like the budget were studied and proposed by a committee of diverse citizens rather than just one person, could it be that people might be less suspect of things and less argumentative toward what the Commission does? This one person concept leaves no room for citizen input - rather cut and dry.
You knew full well that it was not a budget done by one person but it take one person to check the figures and make sure it is correct which is what he did.
Mr.Mayor, you certainly misread Mr. Miller's statement. He did NOT say you had spit in anybody's face. He said that your blatant refusal to post the budget and wishywashing around was no less deameaning than it would have been IF you HAD spit in our faces. Instead of arguing with me, Reba, him, and others, you could have avoided all of this discussion if you had done your job and got the proposed budget posted. In the words of some great figure out of history(I forgot who), "Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way!"
