On Wesdnesday, the The Trenton Times published a letter from one Maria Kelly who was in a snit because the Dishonorable Mayor was not permitted to address council and the public on August 15.  Blogolanders, he was on the agenda.  He was sucheduled to speak just after the opening ceremonies.  He was NOT there.  No one seemed to know when, if at all, he would appear.  Councilman Muschal did the right thing - he moved the agenda forward to public comments.  The Dishonorable Mayor finally appeared and stood in the door.  According to Ms. Kelly, council was rude not to stop public comments and allow the Dishonorable Mayor to speak.  Bullshit!!!  He was late.  He was rude by being late.  He forfeited his place on the agenda by being late.  If he had manners, he would have taken a seat and waited till public comments were over and then apologized to all.  But instead, he stomped off to his office.

If there is one thing about Trentonians that drives me nuts, it is the inability to tell time.  This casual attitude toward being late.  I often wonder how many of use keep our jobs.  The fact is, Tony Mack was late and got what he deserved.

Council President at the last moment changed the agenda to put the Mayor on AFTER public comment which is NOT what was originally on the agenda. Check it for yourself. He did show up at the very beginning but public comment just pressed along so he went on with addressing the press outside of the chambers area then he came back. Facts should be checked.

Well, if "facts should be checked", I believe the original request made by Councilman Chester was for the mayor to attend council to hear comments from the public regarding safety and such.

The order of the agenda may have been rearranged, but that is not a crime.
