The Power or the Office?

Mr Nagy's post is an example of the way it SHOULD be. We all know that it is not. We all know to qualify to sit behind that council desk or to work as one of Gilleland's people, the exact opposite is required. One must be in total agreement with whatever the MMF and city leaders want, no matter the subject. Seeing what kind of individual this town elects to council and seeing what kind of unscrupulous people (in management roles) who occupy the city building, (with the requirement that they be in the good graces of Gilleland), we know that it takes those who don't care about the vast majority of the people but rather the small contingent of city friends who require special agendas and our money to function. As it is now, to be on council or work as a honcho for the city, one needs no morals, scruples, common sense nor honesty. It will not turnaround until the people change it at the polls with the selections of decent, caring candidates.... then demand that the newly elected candidates fire the city manager, the law director, the revitalization director and the planning director. The current hierarchy needs to be broken down and disposed of. THAT will make a difference after the current state of affairs is corrected. Sadly, it will never happen because it needs to begin with the majority voters casting their ballot for the kind of candidate who will do right by the people instead of ignoring them. Too lazy (and don't care) to participate for most. Just roll over and play dead....just what the city leaders want-no threat.
