"WANG DANG SWEET POOTANG" ted nugent

Ted Nugent? Yes I thought you should know who is the new spokesman and leader of the tea party as well as the NRA board director.
Ted is an admitted child pedophile, draft dodger, and board member of the NRA? This is the GOP future? I thought he was moving?

******************************************************************************************

Now the real reason for this post is to let people  know what the Painesville Charter Review Committee proposes for the review committee.
Jan Clair will head the committee with Rita McMahon as a second.
Now after reviewing the changes in the 2003 charter changes that was mostly to clean-up the charter.
Now Law Director Joseph Gurley attended the meeting to let the committee know there was a Type-O in the last review that was written the the law director must attend all charter review meetings? I guess  he who like council to amend this ten years after the fact? Wonder if they will.
Wish he would have explained a "Take or Pay" contract to council?
The committee will review the charter in four sections. The committee will accept  requests for changes from the public. Last Wednesday the POC held a meeting with concerns about the charter. It was the largest attendance we have ever had. We will meet every Wednesday at Morley Library until  we reviewed the Charter. The POC has decided to request four changes to the Charter as a group. This was done so we could focus on these issues. Members and visitors can add any proposal on their own .

The Charter is not as simple as it might seem.

SECTION 6. ORGANIZATION
Thereafter, the Council shall meet regularly as such time as may be prescribed by the rules, but not less frequently than twice each month. There were 8 different statements in this section. At the bottom (Amended November 7, 1989; November 2, 2010.)  Which of the top eight  was amended?

SECTION 11. MEETINGS
The Council shall meet in regular session at least once each month during the month of July and August, and twice each month during the remaining months, at such times and places as are fixed by ordinance.
(Amended November 3, 1993.) Again what was amended? Also a coflict?

Section 10. VACANCIES
The office of an elected officer of the City shall become vacant upon his death, resignation, recall, conviction of a crime involving moral turpitude, absence from Council meetings for three (3) consecutive months without  being excused by council...
Now if someone didn't come to a meeting for three months why would council decide? If you say military service. I believe you are going to be gone for more than three months. Or is this the ace in a councilmans  pocket to bring a sick person into your meeting for a vote you need? Or keep that person on salary as a councilman get that person to qualify for PERS?
What about the ward? What about the city residents. I think we all got to see this not so long ago.
You miss so many meetings a year no excuses from anyone.

What do I see the city wanting to change?

ARTICLE XIII
AMENDMENTS

SECTION 1. METHOD OF AMENDMENT.

Amendments to this Charter may be framed and submitted to the electors  of the City by a Charter Committee in the manner provided by law for framing and submitting a new Charter.
Amendments may also be proposed and submitted by ordinance passed by a vote of the majority of the members of the City Council, by Charter Review Committee as defined in Section 2..........

NOW HERE'S WHAT I FEAR WILL BE CHANGED

Or, by a petition signed by not less than (10%) of the qualified electors of the City,setting forth any proposed amendment, and filed with the Clerk of Council in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 OF Article X of this Charter, wherupon the Council shall forthwith provide by ordiance for submitting such proposed amendment to a vote of the electors.

In other words a private citizen could get a petition signed  by 10% of qualified electors and make council put it on the ballot.

I expect this to be deleted.
