Truth be told I don't know what to think of the article I read in today's K-W Record regarding a possible disagreement between Mayor Jan Liggett and two of her councillors trying to put an item on the Agenda. At the very least I can say that it sure seems like a complicated and difficult process with all the third party (legal) input allegedly required. Overall I'm clear as mud as to who is doing what to whom process wise.
That said based upon Woolwich politics I can tell you that our local keepers of the status quo have little or no respect for fair play or democracy at least not so long as there is a back door or backhanded way for them to get their way. It's all about stick handling through and around things like ethics. morality, right and wrong.
Don't mistake my concerns about disharmony on a council. It's more of an observation actually than any kind of serious concern. I actually am more afraid of a council who always vote nearly the same on most issues. It gives me the heebe jeebies to think that the buggars are doing all their debating and serious discussions in private. What exactly is so dangerous or frightening that the public should be shielded from the facts and the truth? It actually makes me think that maybe, just maybe something out and out illegal is going on. Years ago our Woolwich Council got their knuckles wrapped for their gamesmanship in hiding stuff via improper and inappropriate "in camera" claims. Have they really learned their lessons?
