He is and always has been an incompetent token, who was used by the Good old Boys to restrore all of the Red Necks to their former positions in law enforcement. Forestal, Layton, McAtee...Red Neck Heaven. They gave frank Anderson a uniform and a bunch of flashy pins and Frank has been happy ever since. "No Sheriff in town".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-19956945680299453582008-01-15T05:35:00.000-05:002008-01-15T05:35:00.000-05:00How long was Peterson not dealing with the billboard issue? Frank will be put out to pasture at the next board meeting. As for the ethic situation I am sure he wanted to make sure all his ducks were in a row before he moved on it. It took Peterson until his last term to deal with the cities problems. What was his solution, raise taxes and give all the juicy contracts to his financial supporters.guy77moneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07248410686603913517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-70819405672677753812008-01-14T21:33:00.000-05:002008-01-14T21:33:00.000-05:0010:52, by my count, there were approximately 56 days between the election and swearing-in. <BR/><BR/>Ample time, in a back room, a station wagon, or a 25th floor office, to develop a Code of Ethics and some other basics.<BR/><BR/>Knock it off already. Ballard gets a gentle demerit for not being fully ready with some basic stuff. <BR/><BR/>Nothing major, but the "It's only Jan.14" tagline is a little weak for isssue slike this.<BR/><BR/>He probably cannot solve the budget mess in 56 days. But he can sure as hell develop some ethics policies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-66298017316881244252008-01-14T11:38:00.000-05:002008-01-14T11:38:00.000-05:00Keep him honest AI.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-72141546304915818712008-01-14T10:52:00.000-05:002008-01-14T10:52:00.000-05:008:25... you do realize that its only January 14th don't you?<BR/><BR/>On day one the man was getting sworn in and just moving into the office which Peterson kept him and his staff locked out of untill Jan 1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-54213133389334196562008-01-14T08:25:00.000-05:002008-01-14T08:25:00.000-05:00A few observations:<BR/><BR/>The ethics package should've been ready on Day One. A small point, but it's not that difficult.<BR/><BR/>The sheriff only has to count to 15. It takes 15 councillors to pass Ballard's IMPD measure. There are 16 Republicans. Give it up, Frank.<BR/><BR/>The Pinnacle situation could've been handled just like the ethics situation" this action should've taken place day one. It's a no-brainer.<BR/><BR/>Ballard either isn't getting information in a timely fashion, or his new team is slow on the uptake. Not a fatal flaw, and certainly correctable.<BR/><BR/>But not admirable.<BR/><BR/>There are Democrats who are hoping you proceed on the IMPD situation, Mayor Ballard. Many of us. Just like on the stadium deal, Bart punted too soon, soas to win half a loaf rather than none.<BR/><BR/>We can do better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
