I believe Cato is misenterpreting the “one meeting” clause. That does not mean that there is only going to be 1. That is a standard corp charter item, where it is a statutary requirement for there to be (at least)one meeting a year.

“As you have (incorrectly)suggested that he has not been “involved in the process” of this charade”

My point was the he could have joined the steering committee, when it was re-opened in an attempt to get more “diversity”. He chose not to get personally involved, but has been quick to critize those who have.

“how about telling us about your involvement — or are you simply a sniper?”

I AM on the steering committee.

“And why is it so important that this group do fund raising?”

Because it cost money to do anything! Right now the members of the steering committee are paying the administrative costs of running this out of their own pockets. Who is going to pay for copies when we need 500 ea– or more– instead of 25?

“Shanie Shields has put on her usual and disgusting performance that does nothing for her constituents.”

Shanie is Shanie. Some people love her, others do not. I am committed to working with her to make this work.

“So, I’m sure that you’re pleased with things.”

This is a work in progress– and will be for some time.

I agree with Cato’s POV on many things. In this instance, I think he has rushed to judgement. Give us some time to work this out and it will be a great thing for this county.

Cato’s objection is to the form — not the fact — of the incorporation. As you have (incorrectly)suggested that he has not been “involved in the process” of this charade how about telling us about your involvement — or are you simply a sniper?

And why is it so important that this group do fund raising?

Shanie Shields has put on her usual and disgusting performance that does nothing for her constituents.

So, I’m sure that you’re pleased with things.

Contrary to your belief, I have been to every meeting save one.

I am interested to know what expenses you have paid out of your own pocket to date. Do you expect to be compensated for attending meetings?

As to incorporation, what liability do you expect to incur? Incorporation is simply a step towards building an empire by a few people. To the best of my knowledge you are not one of them, but you are enabling them by agreeing to this proposal.

I have made my proposal. I do not whine. I listen, I argue and if need be I fight for what I believe to be the right thing. I certainly don’t buckle to pressure from a special interest group and put the past president of the Slumlord’s Guild on the steering committee in some false claim to diversity. Perhaps you didn’t know that Shanie Shields has been lobbying for putting T. J. Maloney on the Steering Committee ever since she pulled her little stunt in the newspaper. If you didn’t, shame on her. If you did, shame on you.

On Tuesday we’ll see how many no-white faces are at the table.

Thanks for giving us an important warning about what Pretl is doing after being rejected by the voters in the County Council election last fall.

Not to mention the attempt by SAPOA (T. J. Maloney) to make it appear that the public actually supports their rape of single-family neighborhoods.

They are trying to fabricate a “public interest group” facade for what would be an apparatus to promote their personal political agendas, which are completely contrary to the public interest.

Please keep the spotlight on the vermin!
