To WW: OH! NO!!!

No room for Benedict Arnold here; but definitely room for Abe Lincoln, government of, for, and by the people.
Sorry, it read that way..I did not mean to indicate that at all. Truly, I never meant it to be Benedict!! WW, I want you to run out of bricks building that house of progress. How is it?

This may have been stated before by Adrian (I think) but elected officials are to be the voice "of the electorate"; not the voice telling the electorate how something is going to happen. As we know in Broomfield; this has not been a voice "of the people"; but more dictorial; if the people want to be involved; they must start a petition. Trying to work through committee without council is a reason to drop the committee; trying to work through individual council persons is seldom successful; as they have to argue with other council members. As is happening in Ward one; a neighborhood group has formed to bring attention to simple neighborhood maintenance matters. Single council members could not convince their fellow members.

Compliment

I am certain Broomfield Anonymous did not intend to make such a statement and the message reads more like a great compliment. Earning the trust and respect of those you clearly oppose in a debate is difficult to achieve. I would agree that you have done so.

Wylie Lea, you are our diplomat extraordinaire!

I am truly, sincerely in awe of your ability to maintain composure, and carry on meaningful conversation with the opposition... even in the face of their obvious questionable tactics.

Your loyalty to CVELG is evident. Your dignity and grace are of the highest realm.

You possess that rare quality of true effective diplomacy, where common ground can be found and understanding is gained. You are the genuine article and you should feel proud. We sure do!!!

Whoa, Sorry guys. I wasn't fishing for complements here. I appreciate the kind words, but they are totally uneccessary. I just didn't want any wrong ideas about who my loyalties are to. I had visions of you, Br Anon, thinking I now work for the Wolf Man(BBW, this is really all your fault for saying nice things to me - hee hee).

Those of you who know me in person, know I say EXACTLY what I think. And often I say it BEFORE I think. I wish I hadn't come off so defensive - sorry.
