[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am shocked posters are voting for Ficker. He is an absolute nut and if you had asked me 10 years ago I would have said I admired the guy for his tenacity (still do) but never thought he had a snowball’s chance of being elected - now, not so sure ...

Btw, and this is not why I think he is a nut, but he was a big proponent of the term limit proposition that caused the cluster F that was this most recent Dem primary for County Executive - not sure even he saw this potentially being his path to finally garnering enough support to be elected County Executive but if so he is craftier than I gave him credit for.

So you don't like that Ficker pushed the term limits thing? It got something like 75% support by voters (including me). I think it was necessary.

Blame the Democratic party, and also the taxpayer financing of candidates, for the cluster-f that was the democratic primary (also known as a clown car.. what a mess).

Different poster here. I am surprised so many people voted for term limits. I thought we were a more educated county than that. You now have gotten rid of the ability of truly good policy makers to stay longer. If you think they are bad, vote them out. But if they are good, keep them.  The good ones are few and far between.

Now, the people who will make policy for the county are the merit system staffers. Newbie politicians don’t have a clue how things really work. And you can’t vote merit staff out.  You all just killed a little bit of your own voting power.
