Ok, if we’ve learned anything through the process of seeking candidates for Home Rule Charter Commission, it is the Trustees, along with Taylor, Barker and Blackhurst, aren’t sold on the Home Rule issue. They weren’t clear on that at the last meeting, even when asked specifically if they were for it. Taylor was the only honest candidate saying she wasn’t in favor of it. In past meetings, however, they were clearly not sure if it was a good idea. That is exactly why Jeff from Frederick said they shouldn’t be on the commission. The fact that they are on the Board doesn’t give them special insights, in fact it might prejudice them against any changes that might be suggested.
Baudek’s recent letter also took a dig at the Chamber, apparently because they are currently suing the Town. Is he implying that suing the Town is a bad thing? When board members and mayors feel so entitled that they don’t want dissent, it is time to question their honesty. It is interesting to watch the Town-Chamber issue. One would suppose that if the Chamber wins that suit that the next step would be to seek out those who were personally responsible for breaking the law and to hold them personally accountable.
