Is Mayor Huether & Joe Kirby trying to use the backdoor?

Damn right they are! (my apologies to the Wolf).

The charter revision commission is appointed (handpicked by the mayor). And now Joe Kirby is sticking his nose in and trying to overturn the council’s decision to approve contracts. At Wednesday’s meeting (which I’m sure he will attend by telephone from sunny California) Kirby is proposing that the mayor approves all contracts;

We have already been through this. The council wants to approve contracts. They voted on it. This is a GOOD THING! It takes very little time and is in the consent agenda of the regular meeting. This has nothing to do with power, this has to do with transparency. The citizens have the right to know who is getting city contracts. Why would Joe and Mike want to hide that from the public? Good question.

    Competitive bid contracts with council approval is the democratic way. I’m tired of my taxes making mayors millionaires from kickbacks. Aren’t we all? Notice that executive power does not address mayoral ethics. Also, there’s nothing in city ordinances addressing mayoral recall. We’re stuck with Huether until Navy Seals storm his compound and dump him in the ocean.

    Heil Huether

    I have been trying like mad to find the meeting from this summer where Huether stepped out on a vote/discussion for a development approval. Rumor has it that his ‘wife’ has investments in it.
