City Council Vacancy

17 people submitted applications for the city council position vacated by Dave Orvis. In order of submittal they are:

- Stacy Gardea
- Amy Walker
- Carl Brecht
- Lora Petso
- Todd Cloutier
- Andrew Eccleshall
- Deborah Anderson
- Paul Anderson
- Don Fiene
- Richard Senderoff
- Harry Gatjens
- Frank Yamamoto
- Alvin Rutledge
- Cyndi Correnti
- Jeff Wilson
- Frank Demme
- Roger Hertrich

There are some pretty qualified names on that list. However I am pretty sure this is all a formality. Remember the last appointment where there was no discussion, one round of nominations and one round of voting to put Diane Buckshnis on the council? It almost looked like the fix was in.

(This may be an appropriate time to remind people that Mr. Bernheim stated he couldn't support appointing someone who lost a recent election, and then did; of the inappropriate quorum after that meeting; Mr. Bernheim's statement of "You haven't seen anything yet" after being called out on it; and members of the council attacking a citizen for having concerns regarding their inappropriate, if not illegal, or at least unethical, quorum. You have thus been reminded.)

So my guess is we will see the same blatant flaunting of power by the majority who will deny the citizens even a sham of pretending to consider the applicants carefully and they will seat Richard Senderoff on the first vote.

Maybe I'll be wrong. I hope so.
