[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I am hearing that several former Council staffers are interested in the temporary spots.   They may or may not be good choices, but the optics suck.[/quote]
More of the same, more of the same.

Every council staffer, Planning Board member and Planning Department staffer fancies themselves a politician.

A lot of these people, like Jill Ortman-Fouse and Aaron Kraut, don’t know their *ss from their elbow. [/quote]

That’s assuming the council can even make “temporary” appointments to the board. The law has procedures for filling vacancies that occur during a commissioner’s term, and those procedures only allow for filling a seat for the remainder of a term. The law also requires a lengthier process than the one the council has announced. There’s no exception for when the whole board implodes because the council failed to provide any oversight whatsoever and tried to sweep misconduct under the rug. [/quote]
When has law or policy ever stopped them?[/quote]

Sad but true. It would be very on-brand for the council to create another mess and more uncertainty by not following the law. [/quote]
