I also note that Tim indicated (in his mailer) his decision to run for Mayor was based on his view that our leadership has moved away from good financial conservatism. He cited spending on "feel-good" projects as the catalyst.
Personally, I wish Tim had gone into specifics about what he viewed as such expenditures. While I have my own thoughts as to what Tim was speaking of, I may only include some projects and not others. I am certain that Tim will elaborate in the days ahead, thus giving the citizenry a chance to decide if someone else's feel-goods are someone else's needs.
Hang on to your hats cause this one should be an interesting ride.
On a similar note, just what role would the mayor have regarding expenditures now that the City Charter has been amended and we now have a real City Manager form of government?
Exactly, at least TR has learned not to poke her nose in our daily business anymore, and here comes ken, oh I mean tim trying to go back to the same problems we had before. Oh and didn't he vote to approve the budet which included the City party?
It is kind of interesting that someone who operates in a Council position on a daily basis would somehow believe he can make a big impact in the ceremonial position of Mayor. The Mayor RECOMMENDS appointments to committees and attends ribbon cuttings and other social events. The change to a Council-City Manager form of government takes away all forms of power and the Mayor doesn't even get a vote. The best place for politicians, like Paulisson, who change their opinion according to the direction of the wind is out of government. They cause confusion because of their constant shift in direction and opinion and increase the amount of effort that it takes to make change happen. They also tend to represent a small minority of complainers instead of the vast majority of the population.
One more thing....I would love to know how much Mr. Moody is putting towards Paulison's campaign. The Galveston Daily News story about the Christmas party smelled like politics to me. Didn't the City spend more per person last year at one of his establishments? Hasn't the City been having these events for decades? For those who have watched the backscratching that has gone on for years, keep your eyes open. I'm betting there will be more mud slinging, all in a effort for political control. Thank God the voters choose to change the form of government because now, the city has a chance to thrive.
Sounds like mud is already being slung...
