Rahm's Operative and Union Each Trying to Buy Chicago City Council
2011-01-20 16:46:00 -By Warner Todd Huston A political operative tied directly to Rahm Emanuel has raised $1 million to back Emanuel friendly candidates for City Council, reports The New York Times. The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is investing over $2 million also to buy candidates that favor their issues. Both are struggling to buy a City Council loyal to them in hopes of emulating outgoing Mayor Daley's lock on power. The Emanuel effort is being led by former Daley aide and Emanuel congressional campaign manager Greg Goldner. Goldner is grandiosely calling his fundraising effort For a Better Chicago. By "better" he means for a Chicago that will be at Rahm Emanuel's beck and call. Amusingly -- nay perhaps insultingly -- Goldner...

Oakland City Council Election: Precinct Walking For Libby Schaaf
2010-10-25 10:45:00 With just over one week before the election, this blogger went precinct walking for family friend Libby Schaaf, who's running for the Oakland City Council District 4 seat (Oakland Hills - Montclair). I told Libby she should run for Mayor of Oakland long ago, but she's taking the step-ladder approach. If elected, and she really deserves your vote, she's going to make an excellent Oakland councilmember, but we've got to go door-to-door to do it. I've got to admit, it was fun. What was most enjoyable was meeting the people who make up the area around the Montclair Shopping District. We started with a coffee-table meetup at Montclair Park, led by Oakland Councilmember Jane Brunner, who gave us a good pep talk to get us going. More along the lines of what to say and not to say, than anything else. Meanwhile, a group of joggers went on their circuit, and people were just getting out to run errands. We were on our way. A Lot Of "Joe Tuman For Mayor" Signs This is just a f...
Group wants prayer discontinued at council meetings

I am writing again on behalf of a concerned Rowlett resident and taxpayer and other Rowlett members of the Freedom From Religion to urge you to discontinue the practice of scheduling city council meetings with prayers,” stated Rebecca S. Markert, staff attorney for the organization, in the letter. Harper publicly acknowledged receipt of the letter during the Mayor’s Update portion of the Sept. 21city council meeting. “I don’t like the idea of doing away with the invocation. That letter should be thrown in the garbage,” stated Rowlett resident Fred Witzell d...

Gavaskar & Others in Governing Council are accountable for IPL Mess
2010-10-01 17:43:00 Media & others have solely focused on Lalit Modi for IPL Mess. I also ascribed to the view. And largely did not think Ravi Shastri, Gavasakar & others in IPL Governing Council as accountable. I accepted without question when Tiger Pataudi said they did not doubt Lalit Modi when things were going well.. Thinking that it is not the responsibility of Governing Council to look into the accounts. But that was until i knew they earned a crore rupees. A CRORE RUPEES - Do did they think their few hours of meeting time was worth a crore? Even Mukesh Ambani gets less than 50 crores for slogging 24*7 for Reliance. As Sarbanes-Oxley Act(SOX) states, Internal Control is the direct responsibility of the board.They failed in their duty where they fail to direct their minds to the question of whether a transaction was in the best interests of BCCI.

Hartford City Council to Start Meeting With Islamic Prayer
2010-09-09 16:07:00 -By Warner Todd Huston In a move sure to see some controversy, the city council of Hartford, Connecticut has decided to start off its city council meetings with a Muslim prayer.

Kelly Benjamin runs for City Council
2010-09-02 04:56:00 Kelly Benjamin is running for the District 6 seat on the Tampa City Council on a pragmatic, common sense platform based on neighborhood revitalization, small business support, and improved transit (including making Seminole Heights a station if the light rail proposal passes in November).He just filed on Monday so he does not have a website up and running yet, but he will in the next week or so. He will be qualifying via petition again and canvasing all over Seminole Heights and West Tampa in the coming weeks.Although I'm not living in the area, I throw my support behind Kelly Benjamin. This is his second try for this office. He has a lot of interesting life and work experience since then and I think he will do a good job as a city council member.For more details read the Creative Loafing article and TampaBay.com Bay Buzz blog

After the flood, Park Ridge planning city council meeting August 9th
2010-07-29 02:57:00 After this weekend's flood disaster, Park Ridge mayor David Schmidt is planning a city council meeting on August 9th to discuss city official response and next steps. This call to action apparently stems from two residents contacting Schmidt and "expressing frustration that they attempted to call Public Works on Saturday morning but could not get through," the Mayor tells the Park Ridge-Herald Advocate. The August 9th meeting will discuss a proposal from the city's Flood Control Task Force to create a "flood brigade," consisting of citizen volunteers who could be contacted during flood emergencies to help residents who need supplies and information.(Disclosure: I don't know much about the Flood Control Task Force, but why aren't they in charge of helping...

The Council has been Requested to Handle Foreclosures
2009-09-09 21:21:00 The City Council was urged by the previous treasurer of the city in one of the meetings to control the recklessly rising number of foreclosure scenario in Antioch which is causing a fall in the values of the properties. Robert Kalafate informed the council that, “The typical streets now have a couple of homes that are for rent, for sale and a couple more that have recently sold or are pending in bankruptcy. ” He further feel that, “Several of these homes could be categorized as blight or nuisances. And other neighbors in adjoining properties have taken the example and just stopped caring for their properties. Brown lawns and ‘for sale’ signs on distressed and vacant properties are a welcome mat for would-be vandals and squatters, which increases the law enforcement costs in an already strained budget.” There are apparently 2,300 houses in Antioch which are facing the process of foreclosure and RealtyTrac anticipates that the number of ... |
