But after seeing his position during the waste transfer station, he'll probably have my vote.

If you pull the councils attendance records, his is abysmal. I also understand that Robert Torres is now running for Atchley's seat. I wonder if this is Norma's attempt at a city take over?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659570700681116455.post-49290434296828455722012-08-08T14:33:06.121-07:002012-08-08T14:33:06.121-07:00The only name that I've seen that has pulled p...The only name that I've seen that has pulled papers in addition to Rothman, Jimenez, and Gonzales, is Councilman Freddie Rodriguez from the first district (downtown and west). He is in a "safe" district, so can run without having to give up his council seat.<br /><br />A full-time EMT, he is not a bad guy (and I DO respect the fact that he maintains his full-time job),but I have questions about his support of John Pena downtown who has done work without permits; and his, understandable (given his close professional ties with firefighters), support of county fire. I've also heard that he favors contracting with county Sheriff's but that's not an issue <i>at the moment</i>.John Cliffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02875675135859666829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659570700681116455.post-73926118529639341362012-08-08T14:25:07.141-07:002012-08-08T14:25:07.141-07:00Any more information on who will be running from m...Any more information on who will be running from mayor against "mooch" Rothman?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659570700681116455.post-91054495663541079822012-08-08T09:07:03.096-07:002012-08-08T09:07:03.096-07:00Interesting that Councilmember Atcheley, who state...Interesting that Councilmember Atcheley, who stated at a recent council meeting that HE and the council were more important than appointed committees because they were elected couldn't stay for the end of the meeting. He's being paid to attend the meetings. He knows that sometimes the meetings run long because there is an <i>obligation</i> for elected representatives to actually hear public input.<br /><br />My hats off to the rest of the council who stayed along with the 20 brave souls from the community, who even though they weren't being paid and weren't elected to attend the meeting, stuck it out. That's community involvement and pride. Councilman Atchely once again expressed disdain for the process and the public. At least the appointed commission that he showed disdain for stayed for their entire meetings and worked on various committees for as many as 5 days a week without compensation.John Cliffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02875675135859666829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659570700681116455.post-87137304066801795812012-08-07T16:35:05.996-07:002012-08-07T16:35:05.996-07:00Thanks so much for the summary, I gave up and went...Thanks so much for the summary, I gave up and went home.<br /><br />Kathleen M JonesUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494399483324857798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659570700681116455.post-48988337368482082652012-08-07T08:05:50.220-07:002012-08-07T08:05:50.220-07:00Thanks from me too.
