" A CHANGE WOULD DO YOU GOOD " sheryl crow
Bottom feeder insincere
Just a small correction I understood it was 'back pedaling not back paddling?
Look what my intentions of that comment was, quit bitchin' and find a solution. It's there if your intention is to really change anything as well as doing it out in the open instead of all these secret squirrel meetings that accomplish nothing.
Where to begin?
How about the City Charter?
Article XIII
Section I Method of Amendment
Amendments to the 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 passed by a vote of a majority of the members of
CITY COUNCIL..... simple
Odd, I have to inform you of this when we have an attorney sitting on council? Wears a badge and everything?
Look Council offer an amendment on changing the process of the refuse contract? let's see how everyone votes?
Have Council offer another amendment to take hiring as well as qualifications changes must get approval from council.
Let's see how people vote on that?
You can go through the charter and make what council considers wrong and correct them.
OR
We can aimlessly keep complaining on the path we are on.
Best guess? To much work council and really no desire to change anything.. Ask them?
Big AMP-OHIO meeting this week? Wonder if Painesville representatives at the meeting will inform us ratepayers?
Trump's new tax plan? Who benefits the most? His family! What a non-surprise!

verb (used without object), back-paddled, back-paddling.
1. to propel a boat by paddling backward, as by using a stroke in the direction of stern to bow. Same difference you knew what was meant and how many grammar and spelling mistakes have you made Mr Perfect?
I agree, Council members were elected to do a job. They were not elected to pass the buck.
IMO, there is nothing that should be done under the heading of City business without a vote by Council. That way we, as voters, would know where each member stands on any issue.
This is especially true regarding contracts. The Waste Management "sweetheart" deal is a prime example. The way it works out, years 4 and 5 of the contract were up to the City. However there was a kick back of approximately $45K per year if the City stayed with WM. Gee, what route do you think they took?
IMO, this sort of thing should NEVER be left to the CM with no input from Council. We elected THEM to do the decision making.
12:28 No insult intended? I had never heard back-paddling Sorry.
12:44 You really think council wants more responsibility? For the most part council plays into the hand of the administration? Someone mentioned that the refuse going up $3.84 was $1.92 for refuse and $1.92 added cost for your tote? Really what it was for the $48,000 payola to the city. And council does nothing! and AMP-OHIO screws us and council does nothing.
No windmills and council does nothing.
Unused Battery Box Building and council does nothing.
I could do this all day with the same results!
What you have is a very dysfunctional council. To be taken advantage of past, present and future administration at the cost of the resident's. Council please take a bow!
Seems the only goal is for them to move to a higher position. Which none deserve.
