I'd rather listen to Larry than those canned presentations and dog and pony shows any day.

Mary Catherine is correct. The People ARE poorly served by these councilors.

We worked day and night to help elect them, too.

We learned from Ed Coleman that if you are a Republican, AND you want to serve The People, you will need to first defect from Republican party to do it.

The Republican Party serves the interests of the elites, not The People.

Gary? Are you ready yet to be a Libertarian? Or do you need more convincing?

I read this, then I read the Washington Township referendum, suppossedly NOT increasing taxes. It reads like a tax increase to 5 of the 5 people that have also read it so far!

Do public officals have a clue how much more they're tainting government when referendums are written so only educrats or lawyers can definitively interpret them? What do they think we believe when public input is stifled? That we're happy about it?

I used to joke about rotating the other party back into power, flipping back and forth as in India.

It's not a joke any more. It's a minimal attempt at battling corruption.

Tell us the truth! Make it readable and transparent! Let us make comment! What do you have to hide?

I can only imagine how disappointed you must be about your fellow Republicans, to the point that you feel so much hatred toward the Republican-controlled Council. We, the public, are so poorly served by them.

The councilor's questions were a complete waste of time. They were only posturing. They already knew the answer to their questions. Monroe Gray's questions were a complete waste of time. I wanted to ask him about the MBE contracts he received from United Water.

Is Larry's nonsense really any worse than the crap following out to the audience?

I didn't even stick around for the public comment portion. I occasionally have to work in the evenings and can't take four (or more!) hours out of my day for a chance to speak to politicians who are too tired to even pretend to be listening.

Gary is 100% right. The Powerpoint was 95% re-used from the public forums held earlier in the past 2 or so months. I know at LEAST one councilor, Monroe Gray, attended that meeting and saw that all before. The others could've come in 20 minutes early and looked through the printed pages at their seats and read them. Would've saved the rest of us a lot of time.

I wish ol' Larry would grow up. He's passionate, sure. But he's crazy and the facepaint and 'slave' shirt is really in poor taste. I wonder if all the sane people who want to speak are being penalized by the council not wanting to put up with yet another Larry Rant Show. Not that that's a valid excuse.
