[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Id venture to say that not a single person on here has read the actual path of office.

It says to serve the best interests of the district as a whole. When your local Alma tells you to do her bidding or else she’ll accuse you of being corrupted, know with certainty that she is actually telling you to reject the oath your swore to uphold. These people who think you should do their bidding or else, they’re the real problem. They don’t understand the terms of the deal at all. [/quote]

OP here (and ANC commissioner). I've read the Oath of Office quite a bit and offered it to my colleagues who seem to forget about it.

"These people who think you should do their bidding or else, they’re the real problem." is a great description of some constituents who fail to understand that "being heard" and "being obeyed" are different.[/quote]

I thought you were supposed to be an advocate helping people solve problems with city services?[/quote]

Yes. We do that.

I think you may have reading comprehension skills.[/quote]

Ha! may NOT have reading comprehension skills.
Oh, the irony of that typo.[/quote]
