Dear Mr. James,

Thank you for posting selective meetings from the township I vote in. Seems odd that you have selectively picked out a few documents from a three year span. I am glad to see you are demonstrating how effecient and well our township continues to run. I for one always appreciate meetings that have agendas, stick to the topics and conduct business professionally. As I am sure you are well aware all the hard work of a board or committee happens behind the scenes. It happens prior to the meeting so that a well prepared board can get to the topic at hand. Kudos to Peanine Township for well planned meetings.

One thing that strikes me is that not once in these minutes have I read of the public asking questions or making comments during the open meeting. This is a grand gesture on your part to remind the public that if they have concerns or questions the township meetings is the perfect place to start. The forum most certainly is not.

[Sour grapes]

James your "sour grapes" are showing. Just sayin.

[BI Pirate]

Andy/Sour grapes, Outed by "to". You and Sour grapes are consistent in your posts by using "to", a preposition when you mean "too", an adverb. If you mix it up a bit, people won't know you are one in the same. Love going "to" your posts where you are Sour grapes and Andy "too", Dickie

[Sour grapes]

Hey wait! Don't give Andy credit for my post. You need to sharpen your detective skills. Glad to know you change up your writing skills with all your fake names Pirate. You clearly have TOO much time on your hands TO do detective work even with your TWO fake names. I thinketh you and your groupies need to find better things to do with your days.

[BI Pirate]

If I am the BI Pirate, whom I claim to be, how can that be a fake name? Truth is not truth but only alternative facts. I do agree with your last statement that I need to find better things to do with my days. So until Happy Hour ta, ta.

Dashwoode:

Your quote.

"As I am sure you are well aware all the hard work of a board or committee happens behind the scenes. It happens prior to the meeting so that a well prepared board can get to the topic at hand."


And out of the public view Great!

[Dashwoode]

Mr. James,

I would encourage you to become more involved in boards and committees. There is a termendous amount of work done that is out of the public view. As a voter in Peanine Township I have voted more than one term for the same leadership, as have my neighbors. I am sorry that in your township you do not have enough faith in your leadership that you feel they have to be micromanaged. Again, perhaps you should go to the meetings, ask questions and become more involved. I appreciate you again demonstrating how using a forum to solve township concerns is not the right venue.

Have a lovely day as you and pirate sail of to happy hour.

E.

[James]

Sorry Dashwoode, but Peaine is my township. I loved to go to Jack's meetings as they were long enough to spend an happy evening. He let the old crows nag at him and the rest of us would enjoy the scene. Nothing happening at the present meetings so why waste time driving there and hearing nothing as the audience (what there is) is in tune with the powers that be.

[Dashwoode]

Discussing politics and trying to degrade someone are two very different things. James started this to not discuss a concern but to ambush a board and make false implications. Time for you boys to grow up and communicate like men. When you and your few decide to behave proper perhaps some constructive conversations can happen. Until then I fear you and your few are a disservice to this community.

Edited since the person I was addressing erased his post. Sneaky boys!

E.

[K.D. McBride]

Why are you pulling me into this discussion

[Andy's Grooming Barn]

Dickie,
Really I have the guts to use my own name, seems that you are the one that doesn't so don't accuse me of something that isn't true and you can not back up.
