Hello, Blogolanders! As the weekend goes by, I'll be posting more thoughts on this issue. Last evening, all seven Argives were in attendance. And Councilwoman Reynolds-Jackson was very upset that voting was taking place in reverse alphabetical order!! Oh, my God. She had to vote first. That means the lady had to think for herself rather than follow her pals, Bethea and McBride. The poor woman probably left the council chamber with a headache.
Of course for a year, she has been sitting out of alphabetical order and not said a word. And she still does not seem to grasp the difference between a resolution and an ordinance. Hey, councilwoman -- an ordinance requires the mayor's signature - he can veto an ordinance and then council needs FIVE (the number of fingers on one hand or toes on one foot - got it, Honey?) votes to override the mayor's veto.
This alphabetical seating was really amusing when Jim Coston replaced John Ungrady (sorry, folks, I hit something and can't make it go away, so please excuse the underlining). Everybody but Milford Bethea moved one chair to the left in the conference chamber. It was a pain in the ass as they had to clean out their file drawers and such. But they kept to the alphabetical tradition.
The Seven Argives finally decided that George Muschal would return to the presidency and serve till next year. There is no vice president.
