C3 you raise a valid point. I see vane as a political interlooper , I have seen his resume. I see him as a liberal demcratic party apparatcheck (sp?) .

Lou on the otherhand a vocal long time resident highly opinonated and sincere. So vane never enters my mind, but I suppose vane could do ward 3 and lou could take the mayoral position on this shaddow government.

The point here is the shaddow goverment if grown organically would not be influenced by me anymore than younexcept for influence that emanates strictly fro
 merrit of ideas of which is a function of time and effort I invested in understanding facts and articulating solutions.

I dare say a $1,000 stipend would allow seniors at the high school to do the job equall as well provided the support staff of citizens in workshop did ample homework.

Dos that make you feel better ?

Gebman - I have nothing against Lou, what do you have against Vane who was the loser of Ward 3. Not sure why you weren't allowing Vane to handle the Ward 3 for the losers, you wanted Lou for that position.

No, of course not. Why take a serious issue and reduce it to the level of the absurd? I know politics is a game around here, but there are people hurting. Decisions have to be made and actions taken. No one wants those decisions to be nullified or questioned because of a nonchalant attitude toward self-interest.

Maybe the losers group can dress up like the real councilpeople!

Also...CV, since all councilpeople are homeowners/taxpayers in the City of Beacon, would that constitute a conflict of interest for all?

Kudos to Clark for his undressing the council on Erlich's assessments which are verging on criminal.Hats off to you.

wbl - I am agreeing with you on your last two posts. What did DaScoop say?

Gebman - What the heck?? Can we call the group 'Losers' and they wear L's on their foreheads. Does Lou live in Ward 3? He can't cover the ward if he doesn't live in it. You are only trying to sway NMorgan to meet you, as you want this group to meet at Brothers.


GMIP - I think if the Riccobono and Forman were swapped, it would have changed the outcome. I agree with you, it was an unprofessional letter to the editor.

Your personal life definitely enters politics (Bill Clinton, Gary Hart are a couple who know that) but who would think that your interview for the party discussions would get out to the public by the head of that party. Makes you not want to say anything at that meeting, it can be used against you months later.

Now that this board is "alive" again with inside pertinent information, at least for a spell, it's just so darn unfair not to be able to see the deleted post!! (smile)

I don't begrudge Mansfield making a living. My concern was/is that he might have to disqualify himself from many important discussions facing the City Council because of financial conflicts -- either he does business with some of the parties or the decisions could affect his property values -- or because of his legal history with the City.

But I don't know how the City administers conflict of interest other than it is written into the city code as a no no. Is it an honor system? Can a citizen refer appearances of conflict to the ethics committee? Can Council decisions made when conflicts were present be voided? Should Council deliberations conducted when a conflict may be present be suspended until the issue is resolved?

I guess some clarification is in order.
