"I am a trustworthy person...."

The motion to rescind the $75 meeting stipend passed last night. And, guess who voted nay: the two councilors who have been collecting the stipend funds: Barlow and Locke!

Even Morten was smart enough to see the way the wind blows on this one. Of course, he IS running for mayor and does have to worry about the perception that he's not spending funds wisely. I guess Locke isn't concerned about his election. And, Barlow thinks we're all just idiots anyway and will never be able to recall him. Still, he was worried enough to file that suit against Sally Gump, and that encouraged several people to sign for his recall.

I came across a great quote in campaign blather from the last election; guess who said it:

"I am a trustworthy person who will be respectful of your money and treat it with the care it deserves."

Hint: he just voted to keep his meeting stipends!
