To Think About It????: The only things that come out in an election in Rollingwood are nasty attacks on good people. The final election results showed that most in Rollingwood know what is true and refuse to read or listen to awful personal attacks that are not pertinent to issues concerning our city. Let the people of our community serve and get rid of those who make serving such a negative experience. Then the council won’t be begging for anyone to serve on commissions as they have been for the past two years. We need change!

Our city administrator in would say that most people in Rollingwood are in a potential lawsuit with the city. Which means that most people in Rollingwood could not serve on a commission. That is just about how many people she has the city attorney “deal with” when they have a concern. Nice, isn’t it?

The question that should be asked is WHY was it so urgent to make the rules so much stricter for commission appointees just a few years ago? Why aren’t the rules being enforced for someone currrently on a commission who is NOT qualified under the rules he insiisted on pushing through? Why were the rules pushed through without question then? What was our council trying to do? Who were they after? Why are these rules seemingly being used to keep some people off of boards but not others who are favored by our blind mayor and city administrator? There are no “background issues’ that John Hinton is avoiding. John wants inclusive government by the people! Not by hypocrites.
What is wrong with ETHICS???? If there IS something to catch, we want it caught! If there is nothing, GREAT!
The argument against this is simply proof of our city’s contiinuing fight in support of corruption.
John Hinton needs to be left to do the job he received the most votes to do!

Simple question- who is it John Hinton wants to appoint who may have a background issue??

And, who is it he was trying to catch or possibly snare when he tried to make the ethical requirements for Commission members stricter??

Which way do you want it?? The requirements for Boards and Commssions are logical based on the fact the residents serving on these commissions make recs to the Council that have great impacts on our City. In an election all of these items would be brought out for City Council which would hurt someone’s campaign.
