[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is defending what took place in that picture, but at some point, you have to move on. You can run for the seat in two years if you are still that bitter about it. The ANC are volunteer positions that take a lot of time. In most cases, someone runs because no one else will. Why don't you step up?[/quote]
I love it. Block avenues of accountability and then tell people to “move on”. This is not serious. [/quote]

What avenues of accountability were blocked? If you want to initiate a recall election, that is the place to go. A paper resolution offered at the last moment is not accountability.[/quote]
This is not serious. They removed discussion from the agenda of the meeting citing Roberts Rules of Order like cowards. [/quote]

Discussion wasn't removed. There was no notice that this would be on their agenda. No one knew this was even under consideration until Nancy decided to air dirty laundry on the listserv. It was a classless move, but par for the course from her.  The bridge builder she claims to be- she should have worked with other commissioners to craft something that was both not against the rules and had buy-in from Chair Finley. Beau sounded pretty angry about what his allies did, so there was clearly room for doing something other than last night's performative sh*tshow.

"Before notice went out of the ANC meeting agenda for tonight's (Dec. 13) ANC 3C meeting, I told commissioners that I intended to draft a resolution commenting on the incident and how the ANC interacts with the public. The topic was included in the notice, but was dropped from the agenda that was posted on the ANC website.  I wasn't informed but discovered the omission. [b]The ANC administrator when asked told me that Chair Finley told her to delete it[/b]." -- Nancy MacWood

Finley noted last night that he had repeatedly tried to talk with Macwood before the notice went out but that she ignored his messages.  He explained (and if you're explaining your losing) his reasoning for why Macwood's resolution was out of order and pointed out the relevant rules it violated.  Nevertheless, the commission as a majority felt strongly enough that the rules should be ignored, so the resolution was passed.

Lee Brian Reba's pretend offense to being called out for repeatedly using a homophobic slur (which Macwood never called him on because she clearly doesn't care if her people are bullies) was amusing.  Everyone heard him drop the f-bomb at a few meetings last year as a way to get under Pagats's thin skin.  It sounds like Finley and Pagats tried to handle the issue confidentially with the Office of ANCs.  Given Reba's similar thin skin, he could not refrain from his Airing of Grievances.  I hope the new ANC puts together a compilation of clips of Reba saying it.

The District is quite lucky that young white Kathy Henderson (Maureen Boucher) is gone. While it was sometimes amusing to see her struggle with basic meeting procedure and it was clear she never read a single resolution, she came off as an unhinged bully so much of the time, shouting at people in the chat, and generally making an ass of herself.[/quote]
