I have been watching the recent Council meetings, specifically the June 30th meeting.  It is really unfortunate we have individuals that feel it is necessary to personalize every statement and comment.  In addition we have one specific member that feels the need to comment on every topic & discussion.  Most of these comments don't add value, just look at the other member expressions every time this individual begins to talk.  

It is really unfortunately this member (ASJ) has taken the position to internalize every comment as a personal attack.  What is very unprofessional are the methods and challenging questions that are ridiculous.  Let's face it, no one on the sub-committees went out and did $50K studies and reviewed governmental proceeding in making decisions for how often a committee should meet during a month.  The response and question alone shows limited thinking and detachment to reality.  

This meeting was truly a reflection of why we need to limit member terms.  We need new thinking and a business mentality / approach.  We need business thinking, someone that has lived in a boardroom and operated a company.  We don’t need the view that I have lived here so I am qualified, and, we will do it my way thinking.

Look at our town, each council member should be utterly embarrassed.  They need to take a step back and quit internalizing on the petty issues and make strategic decisions.  If you can’t do that, resign and let someone step into the position with qualification.
