I love it. Block avenues of accountability and then tell people to “move on”. This is not serious.

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.

This is not serious. They removed discussion from the agenda of the meeting citing Roberts Rules of Order like cowards.

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.

This is not dirty laundry; it's a questionable action that was, thankfully, brought to light.

"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. The ANC administrator when asked told me that Chair Finley told her to delete it." -- Nancy MacWood

If you want to hang your hat on the "needs to be an emergency" justification, emergencies are serious situations that require immediate action. It was the sponsor of the resolution's last meeting, and the next meeting would include ALL of the commissioners in the offending photo. How likely is it the resolution would see the light of day in that situation? It was now-or-never and important to fully and transparently consider. In the end, the trio did themselves more harm than they would have if they had expressed contrition, agreed with the premise that ANC Commissioners should be respectful of all of their constituents, even when they disagree, and allowed the vote to move forward. It's even possible the resolution wouldn't have passed if they'd done that. It was a missed opportunity.

Sure. Its just the new ANC crushing anyone who goes against them. The classless move was giving the finger and tweeting about it. The back room deal has been made and they will do everything but resign make this go away. This is totally anti democratic but I am sure you are proud.

The classless move is continuing to fight over something that has been resolved. That is a very divisive activity, but that is what the opponents of the bike lanes continue to do., despite it being proven time and again that they are in the minority opinion of the topic. Take the loss and move on.

You’ve obviously never been to an ANC meeting if this is the first time you realized ANC reps are not professionals, don’t respect their constituents, and ill-equipped for public office. ANC meetings feel a lot like high school government.

That is an affront to high school government.
