Recall Van Auken
Barbara Van Auken sent out campaign lit stating her predecessor should be tossed from office because of her Station 11 vote. The campaign piece claimed that Station 11 was vital to public safety and Marcella had endangered the Second District by voting to take crucial equipment out of service. Now that Barbara has the seat, there are other priorities. Like preserving the stupid flower baskets dripping from light posts on Main Street. (Talk about putting lipstick on a pig.)
Bob Manning and Bill Spears merely said the Fire Chief should have been allowed to make the decision as to where Fire Department budget cuts should be made, not the Council. It's disappointing that the new guys won't bring back Station 11 to full capacity, but we can't say they out and out lied.
Van Auken is a disappointment. I know people who worked hard on her campaign who say she doesn't give them the time of day now. Added to my Station 11 annoyance is Van Auken's reversal on buying the water company and her condescending speeches. I'm thinking I'm not the only one experiencing voter's remorse.
I want to like Van Auken, I do. However, knowing that Station 11 was a primary reason for her election and also why Firefighters turned out en mass to work on her campaign, I'm beginning to feel Van Auken is just another political hack who uses people. Imagine Marcella Teplitz turning liberal and chain smoking. You'd have Van Auken. Someone who picks her favorites and ignores the rest, thinking she's fooling people.
I know Bill Dennis will rip me a new one for saying this, but I'm already sick of her. Time for a recall.
