So doggone much going on plus the sad distortions of what has gone on make it a bit hard to move forward as fast as I would like, but will continue as I can on the Town Hall of the 11th of June later. Still a lot of good stuff in that meeting to cover.
But first allow me to address Ms. Powell's inane comments on the VUB Budget and its vote on the 7th of June. As I noted, it was voted on at about 24 minutes into the Meeting. Now this meeting started late as several have because some Board Members are late arriving. How do I know that the vote was approved about 24 minutes into the meeting? First I start at the prescribed time to "RECORD" every VUB, City Council, B&F, CDBG meeting that I attend. I will than download to my PC. After that, I make a transcription of the Recording and use it for any postings or whatever I am to do later
I do not at this time know how to make a recording of my download. But for ANYONE that wishes, to hear the 23- 24:15 minutes segment of the download over the phone- feel very free to call me and I will play it for you. You will hear Mr. Rapp doing his thing as the Budget Resolution Approval is put into play and seconded. Then passed with a 5-0 Vote as I posted before.
Ms. Powell, this is just one more in a long, long series of mis-postings and mis-statements by you. Your excuse that IF you made a mistake, you would correct it is also false. I have pointed out yesterday several instances where you made erroneous postings. And they were just a few occurring in the past months.
And for you to infer that I am lying is a dangerous path for you to take. Slander/ Libel are suable issues. For one such as yourself where the Truth is frequently, seemingly an inconvenient word is one thing? For one who cherishes Integrity, Morals and Ethics, being Truthful is a way of life. I have nothing else to offer the World each and every day except to be as Truthful as I can while helping this fine little Community.
As for why I did not post something on the 8th? Why would I? It did not have the priority at that time that combining with the Council Meeting of the 14th had.
I did go in and find where you note the City/ VUB has began to put the Budget on line. I have not seen them do that before. And note Page 3 of the Sewer Budget; Page 5 of the Water Budget and Page 3 of the Stormwater Budget are not legible unless one is reading Arabic or Persian? This was nothing more than a half-a**ed effort by the City/ VUB to make you, your BFF and Mr. Conley look foolish, at least in their minds?
As far as what you say "smells to me", is something peculiar to you and not for discussion in polite company.
Your libelous comment on the VUB board having another meeting after you, BFF, Mr. Conley and I all left is in a word- asinine. The bid for Burgess and Nipple did not pass and was to be part of a special VUB meeting in a week- 10 days. That time frame has passed too.
Mr. Conley was at the meeting, but had no standing to do an "Audit" at that time. Anyone is allowed to attend a VUB meeting. An Ordinance for the Council to sit in on any City Business is covered under the "Open Government Meetings" Law. For them at a VUB meeting other than as a spectator is not likely as they are with the exception of Mr. Rogers/ Mr. Rapp are NOT VUB members. Exception would be a "Joint" Meeting as when the City People got screwed on the Sewer/ Water Rate Increases Presentation by the Attorney.
It would be very, very beneficial if you would begin to learn how to do research as it appears to ANY prudent person that you like to shoot from the hip and flap a loose lip?
YOU have steadfastly refused a ton of information and help on so many issues. But that was YOUR decision and it shows very frequently. I can say with certainty Brenda, that NOT every man "disrespects your opinions because you are a Female". At least not until you open your mouth and prove worthy?
I can only feel so sorry for the people who read your postings and the quality of information that you put out. Luckily it seems some of what you mimic from me allows you some accuracy?
Plus being gracious enough to copy many of the City Website Events to your message board as your readers seemingly cannot find the City Site? I do not think they are really that dumb?
If you feel you need to continue this childish "one up man ship" on me, let's get it on? But please understand, I do NOT lie on anything. As you stated, we all make mistakes and I have corrected several even when I was not completely sure the mistake was mine?
And for those sad Souls who drink her Kool-Aid and actually believe what she puts out. If you want to come after me because you think I am treating her badly, try to understand every action has a reaction as you are reading right now. 'nuff said'.
