It never ceases to amaze me. People on the left seem to think that all they have to do is change the wording a little bit and the stupid masses (that's you and me) will just fall in line like so many sheep. This is exactly what Mike Goodson, Mike Pretl and the rest of the wannabe PAC-14 pirates are attempting right now.
In a conversation I had just last week with one of this merry little gang I was actually told that THEIR approach -
is the CONSERVATIVE approach to managing PAC-14. I'm still laughing.
Their argument goes something like this:
Allowing the Wicomico County Council and the Mayor of Salisbury (with confirmation by the city council) to appoint the PAC-14 board is equivalent to government control. Such government control will inevitably lead to CENSORSHIP and politicization of PAC-14's content. Only governance by a COMMUNITY board will assure that THE PEOPLE maintain control.
I'll admit that the argument sounds great. There is not one ounce of truth to it, but it sounds great.

handing PAC-14 over to a largely self-appointed, self-perpetuating, and wholly unaccountable group

GA, it sounds just like the iquor Control Board, The Humane Society and the Salisbury Zoo. Those are just three groups that come to mind when it comes to the lack of any accountability.
ReplyDeleteI personally believe everything should be tabled until a new Mayor is elected, then tey can have at it. Right now, it's very dangerous the things this Mayor and others are wanting to push through before they lose their seat.
Hopefully Rick Pollitt and the County Council will do one of two things. Refuse to participate OR refuse to fund PAC 14 again. In trying times like we currently have, if these people want to push the issue, do so without the financial backing of the City and County and then let's see where they get.
There are enough Boards out there right now out of control. Can Rick Pollitt bring this to a referendum?
Liquor, sorry. I should add the Fire Departments to the list as well.
ReplyDeletePAC-14 turning green or radical?
ReplyDeleteI wonder who sits on board????
