When Maynard's effort failed CM Adkins did what he could to try and force a vote without consideration:The Mayor’s extraordinary effort began when Council Member Jerry Maynard signed onto BL2010-770 in Budget and Finance committee for the purpose of having the bill defeated. He signed the bill without talking to the primary sponsor, Council Member Duane Dominy. Then Council Member Greg Adkins attempted to pass a Motion to Table the sponsor’s request for indefinite deferral. It ended when the Council voted against the Motion to Table 19-18-2.Whenever journos start accusing CMs like Mike Jameson of "obscure parliamentary maneuvers" the least they could do would be to acknowledge CM Maynard's own slick moves are based more on power than on principle. I will be posting more on that e-mail shortly. Any moral high ground supporters of the Mayor's plan might have claimed after CM Dominy introduced his bill involving CM Sandra Moore's district without talking to her was lost in CM Maynard signing on without talking to Dominy.
The cloak-and-dagger tactics seem to occur on all sides with the Mayor giving an executive boost to those on his side.
What you call *slick* some call *greasy*
ReplyDeleteHey Mike maybe if Councilman Dominy had shown up for the committee meeting Councilman Maynard would have not had to do what he did. I guess it is okay for Councilman Dominy to not show up since the tax payers are paying for him to be there.
ReplyDeleteAt least state employee Fred Agee is NOT posting anonymously while he is at work, for a change.
ReplyDeleteAs for Maynard, he is the greasiest of the Mayor's lap-dogs.
