City
Council /County Commission Meeting Summary, Oct. 17,
2016;
The city council meeting was quite boring,
with two exceptions. The first item was presented by Donna O'Daniel, who spoke
about all the false claims concerning global warming, which is politically
motivated to force green energy on the public, and do away with all fossil
fuels. The Attorney General is even talking about criminalizing “climate change
deniers” speech to ensure no opposition to this scheme to get US dollars flowing
to third world countries in the form of penalties issued by the United
Nations.
Councilor Gil Sorq brought forward a
resolution to keep the federal lands in the hands of the feds. All speakers
(brought in for this purpose) including the National Wildlife Federation, who
spoke about the “land grab” by the states to try to take back federal lands!!
What a reversal of the truth, in actuality it was the Federal Govt. who stole
state lands! This resolution was unanimously approved by all
councilors!!
County Commission meeting, Oct. 12,
2016
The first item was a request to fund the
SCRTD for another year. Robert Armijo spoke about how the transportation is
indispensable to people and all the benefits, like people getting to jobs and
healthcare. Donna O'Daniel spoke about the $124k salary for Mr. Armijo being
overkill for him to manage 4 buses! Jan Jungewalter also spoke about the cost of
each ride being about $37. which is certainly extravagant.
The next item was a presentation by the
detention center administrator about the recent assessment done by the state
inspectors. The detention center is not in compliance with serveral minor items.
All items will be brought into compliance, most by the end of the month. Must
keep in mind that “identified deficiences” are things like format of reports,
font size, etc. We are actually scoring better than most of the state
jails.
