I don't kno...I wasn't at the meeting, Bill. I don't know when the meeting was. Maybe the door was closed because it was cold outside, or hot outside.<br /><br />Sam was asked to a meeting by his constituents. He went. That is EXACTLY what I expect my councilperson to do.<br /><br />Are unions the enemy Bill. Sam represents his constituents, not the other council members or the administration.<br /><br />Is the mayor King? Do you have a problem with people who are union members? Former councilman Tom Johnson was head of a union and had meetings all the time. Was that bad?<br /><br />Sam's not supposed to be representing the city's (read administration's) interest. He's supposed to be representing the interests of the people of his Ward. And that is what he was doing by actually meeting with concerned citizens. Kind of refreshing, I think.<br /><br />There was no discussion of contract negotiations. There was no violation of collective bargaining. Frankly, I'm surprised Alan brought up the issue.<br /><br />Jeez, Bill.

Females stay lower, skulking through vegetation for food and quietly weaving together their remarkable nests. In winter Red-winged Blackbirds gather in huge flocks to eat grains with other blackbird species and starlings."<br /><br />allaboutbirdsBob Newlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05388226473052858297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2123919364122433432.post-33652233350570638132011-06-28T17:50:20.948-06:002011-06-28T17:50:20.948-06:00I was wondering if, when blackbirds nest, the mate...I was wondering if, when blackbirds nest, the mates cooperate. Or does the male build the nest? Or the female? Or both? Or maybe they hire a bird of a different species. Some birds do that, you know.

Is he really an authorized ombudsman? Or just a self appointed one? <br /><br />Tell us Mike. Is what Sam was doing at the labor hall kosher or no?BFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2123919364122433432.post-65665360092621684802011-06-28T17:24:45.960-06:002011-06-28T17:24:45.960-06:00Nuts is nuts, Mike.Nuts is nuts, Mike.BFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2123919364122433432.post-47893441312662844402011-06-28T17:22:11.632-06:002011-06-28T17:22:11.632-06:00The last flier received chastised Sam for talking ...The last flier received chastised Sam for talking to city employees, who asked to meet him.
