She did a City Council update and did a Q&A about some issue. I was more than a little peeved.<BR/><BR/>Great post.

They rarely show. It seems to me the alotted time could be used more effectively.<BR/><BR/>As a candidate for Inspector of Election, I did not show at the NPA "meet the candidate" night for 2 reasons. <BR/><BR/>#1 I was committed to making get out the vote calls for Burlington Voter Power which is always done the Tuesday before the election and in the evening between 5pm-9pm.<BR/>(The NPA fell on this Tuesday)<BR/><BR/>#2 I believe the ward 5 NPA is a joke or a farce. Esp. after what I heard happened and as Jay pointed out.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, good post Jay.<BR/><BR/>peace,<BR/>Owen MulliganAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32622692.post-20044889918416843422007-03-03T14:34:00.000-05:002007-03-03T14:34:00.000-05:00Thanks, Anonymous, so you clearly know what I mean...Thanks, <I>Anonymous</I>, so you clearly know what I mean.<BR/><BR/><I>Snarky Boy</I>, I know, I know, but I'm really not a mercenary person!

Interesting that now there is an election they show up.<BR/><BR/>Rene gets 4 minutes, Joan gets 4 plus another 20 or so for the council update and the zoning re-write. Pathetic!<BR/><BR/>I live in ward 5 and I will never attend another NPA again or should I say NDA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
