I think the Stewart Brown thing was a different situation entirely. She once mentioned something in passing that really had me questioning a man I know on the council, who if her statement is true, has really disappointed me. <BR/><BR/>I was no fan of the former Manager Mr. Coren I can assure you as he was always so condescending and controlling.

Aberdeen, where reality is the exception rather than the rule. <BR/><BR/>They all know what Coren did and they let him. Any employee with four years or more has all they need to protect themselves just from his trips at the expense of the taxpayers he took to Maryland.

The council was in workshop mode for several hours. All council members were present except Mr. Perry. <BR/><BR/>The council did not convene the regular meeting until after 10PM. Why? It appears that Councilwoman Gallo was upset with how the council was awarding contracts. The rest of the council and the lawyer spent a tremendous amount of effort to prove that she should vote YES with rest of them. At around 9PM, an executive session was held, and some voices were raised loud enough that we could hear the argument in the main council chamber.<BR/><BR/><B>The Result:</B> The council had a 5-1 vote on most of the appointments on the agenda and the budget, with Ms. Gallo as the NO vote. I want to credit Ms. Gallo with being courageous and putting the people of our town first, even after being put under pressure.<BR/><BR/>I again questioned the mayor about all these professional appointments being "NO BID". He replied with the same talking points that all professionals were not the same; I will not repeat the rest of what he said, because the logic he uses to justify it is cockamamie. I said, “how do we know what we are saving, since we do not bid?” If our professionals are as good as the mayor indicates, why don't they have all the business in the county?<BR/><BR/>I told the mayor, I understand that campaign donations are needed to run an election, but giving contributors “NO BID” work at the bare minimum "does not look good". He could not refute that statement, and I was given a "we will take a look at that in the future" as an answer. I won’t hold my breath a waiting for that to happen.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps someone can tell me why we are only now formalizing the contracting of professionals now for 2008, when we are in September?<BR/><BR/>We must keep up the pressure until these “pretenders of public service” are removed from office or shamed into acting in the public interest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099245919524883845.post-18227593105838166952008-09-03T08:14:00.000-04:002008-09-03T08:14:00.000-04:00Any news on the council meeting in Aberdeen last n...Any news on the council meeting in Aberdeen last night.
