Author    Post   Dave Starr F L I N T O I D Bet the council votes no. If they do, it'll show that all their talk about cooperation was just that; talk. _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now. Pushing buttons sure can be fun.

I'm guessing that's the salary range for other cities of this size, regardless of area economics. _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now. Pushing buttons sure can be fun.

Mon Dec 03, 2007 9:17 pm  last time here Guest jesus!! why does he have to get councils vote!!! there MUST be a better way.......from what i've seen of councils actions in the past (ch.17) there may be a problem but i'll betcha the don & co. have a plan.....at least i hope so. _________________ Guest post Mon Dec 03, 2007 10:32 pm  00SL2 F L I N T O I D quote: last time here schreef: why does he have to get councils vote The Mayor, with the approval of the City Council, shall appoint a City Administrator who shall be the Chief Administrative Officer of the City.

The plan is probably for Teflon Don to ask CC to approve his appointment. If they refuse he will make a temporary appointment and that's the way it will stay for four years. _________________ What if the Hokey Pokey is really what it's all about?

Tue Dec 04, 2007 8:50 am  last time here Guest you would think council would eventually start playing the game of allowing the city to continue prospering. this idiocy has lasted long enough. i've watched time and time again those council meetings when mr.ayre (sp) would try to get them to pass a certain resolution. some of them never come prepared and it looks as though they are reading this stuff for the very first time. whomever the council president is should get them the necessary resolutions PRIOR to meetings and instruct them TO READ THEM BEFORE THE MEETINGS so they don't look like imbeciles. as it is now, they've been rendered toothless and i might add embarrassing... _________________ Guest post Tue Dec 04, 2007 11:29 am  Dave Starr F L I N T O I D That's a lot of the reason Ayre quit.I guess what's good for the people of Flint isn't the Council's concern. Petty politics is MUCH more important. _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now. Pushing buttons sure can be fun.

When I was on council, we had our packets at the very latest the friday before the meeting. Most of the time it was the Thursday before. Whether the councilperson chooses to actually read it (which seems to be the case for at least 2 of the current folks) is another issue. It's joke that these folks are making major decisions with no information..... Tue Dec 04, 2007 1:00 pm  FlintConservative F L I N T O I D And Buchanan plans to vote on his own appointment. What a maroon. http://www.mlive.com/news/flintjournal/index.ssf?/base/news-47/1196781666110740.xml&coll=5 Tue Dec 04, 2007 5:56 pm  last time here Guest well FC..that could be looked at a couple different ways. 1. a councilperson voting for himself. 2. a councilperson voting for a city administrator. ananich quietly quit leading the finance committee and stated me may very well give buchanan his vote. thank goodness he appears to be listening to his constituants!!!! good move ananich!! _________________ Guest post Tue Dec 04, 2007 6:57 pm  00SL2 F L I N T O I D quote: FlintConservative schreef: And Buchanan plans to vote on his own appointment. What a maroon. Councilperson Carolyn Sims voted for herself to be Council President. What's the difference, FC? Shouldn't Buchanan have the same opportunity to vote for himself? Which is worse, being one of nine to vote oneself into the position as president of the same body, or being one of a body of nine to approve an already appointed position outside that body? Which is less or more self-serving? Reasonable minds can expect Buchanan to vote for himself as Sims voted for herself, despite any difference or similarity.
