I don't think....

I don't think the other poster necessarily make an accusation of an ethics violation. I think that he or she was just pointing out there are direct violations and perceived.

Perception is reality in a burg like Picktown.

I think most of us would agree that even with this less than solid tie (dottedd line) from a voting councilman to a vendor making potentially large amounts of cash from the city, the more honorable course of action would have been to continue to abstain. Then threads like this would never be written.

No one ever proved the dotted lines between administrations of the past and developers were any more than just that but look where it got them.

I think Sauer has lost all credibility on this. I also think Sanders' credibility has at least been damaged but not necessarily lost.

Fix and Sabatino? Did they ever have any?

Changing votes

I guess I don't understand the mentality of council and how it votes. Which votes count and which do not. This Rita was voted down in Finance committee and then passed on to council. Not sure why there was even a vote on council.

The fact that Sanders changed her vote doesn't affect her creditability to me. If she had more time to look into the facts on RITA then I think she did her due diligence. I can remember others on council voting for something and later opposed the issue. Apparently the finance committee vote didn't count.

Jeff

This wasn't killed in finance because of the administrative code changes Jeff got enacted after his last give away the city to the township fiasco.

Committee's now can't kill legislation, they have to refer it to council as recommended or not recommended and allow council to kill it. So even though it failed 3-4 a week ago in Finance it still had life to it and allowed for flip-flopping to occur.
