i dont find it very professional that we have a city council member calling something on the agenda controversial so if she wonders why she wasnt relected then i would think that perhaps lack of professionalism was part of it
You'd have to be living under a rock not to know that this topic is controversial.
January 1st can not come soon enough.
She wont be able to send these out then. Besides for all purposes she is already off of council. I doubt she even shows up to the meetings?
Oh, she'll still be sending out news releases and emails for sure. She'll go back to being the rabble rouser she always was... The question is whether this website or any other medium will pay attention to her anymore.
let us hope not. Her time has passed.
Unprofessional to share with the public what is really going on at City Hall? Julie has been the only Council member willing to send out important information to the the community. The first amendment allows for such privileges.
unprofessional? not quite...unbiased? evidently not.
All the information is sent out and available from the city as it is supposed to be done. She is just so paranoid. If you look at any other cities, they usually dont have a whack job duplicating, and adding a twist, to the city's business? Bless Bill's heart now as he will have to be her channel.
Julie's emails are far more detailed and informative than the city's. I hope she'll continue to send them after she leaves office as a way of keeping critical information transparent to all.
Julie, the people of Milton should be told what is actually going on at city hall. This includes the misconduct that I have heard about for quite some time. Yet, it continues. We need to clean house.
