Bill Knutzen is all butt-hurt about not putting the decision about the Reconveyance to a ballot vote in November.

This is what’s wrong with government nowadays. It seems you want to tell the voters that you know what’s better for them than they know for themselves.Bravo Sierra.
If there had been four votes against the Reconveyance on the County Council last night, Knutzen would have voted it down.
He wouldn't have waited for a vote of the people on November.
One of my favorite comments was attributed to Carl Weimer on this matter.
They recently gave the city of Lynden $6 million for a water treatment plant and there was no call to put it to a vote of the people, Weimer said.Where was Mr. Knutzen's zeal to take a matter of financial importance to the voters in November on that decision?
Hmmmm?
This philosophy of "If I agree with a decision, lets make it now. If I disagree with a decision, let's wait until November." doesn't pass any smell test I can put to it.
After about three years of most Council decisions going Mr. Knutzen's way, and him making some very decisive votes on those decisions, now he finds himself on the wrong end of one decisive vote... and he doesn't like it.
Remember how the shoe feels now, sir.
Because Carl Weimer has been dancing like Fred Astaire in those shoes since you got elected in 2009.
Time for the conservatives in the County Council to cowboy up.
Sometimes things don't go your way.
Let's also not forget this is the same a-hole who, when he ran for public office, admitted he'd never before voted in a local election.
ReplyDeleteWhat a complete fraud. What a disgrace. What a model for the section of the county he represents, the absolute epitome of the Tea Party.
This flaming a-hole who does not vote thinks he has the right to lecture those who **VOTE** in what it means to live in a democracy??? Outrageous.
