Councils 4-3 split raises concern

   Ms.Scott-Jones--I did mention that Council did not come to a decision on the choice first time around. Since there were 3 suitable candidates desiring the position, there are many possiblilities as to whom/how Council would line up their choices. If I did mention a 3-3 split, then it was a guess or an error on my part. 

Despite that Council's public pledge to put the best most appropriate local citizens in the most suitable positions, I was told that nothing had really changed, and the "good ole boy network" of positioning and reward was still in full swing. So--YES I am concerned over last night's legislation and how it will impact these local boards and commissions, and every other citizen should also be concerned.

	The same people complaining about the so-called split would complain if every vote was unanimous.
