Blah blah landfill blah blah

Here is the link to my latest landfill story - and remember, I don't write the headlines!

And since I'm on the subject of the landfill, I want to state categorically that I am not anti-Moak or anti-City Council. When I said in my previous post that it was my opinion that the Mayor would be doing the City Council a favor, I did not mean as in, "nudge, nudge, wink, wink - you do this for me and I'll do this for you."

(The City Council is in a tough spot and I would not want to be in that spot for all the tea in China; bless their cotton socks.)

I can see how what I wrote could be taken that way ... well, I can see it now since people have been crawling out of the woodwork thinking I'm starting a "Moak is a Mook" campaign.

Sure the mayor forms committees* to advise him and then does whatever he wants - I do that, too!

I don't form committees but I do ask everyone I know, "What should I do?" and then I go ahead and do what it was I was going to do originally. (#12 on the list of "Random Things About Me.")

It used to drive my boyfriend crazy ... and also could explain why he's no longer my boyfriend ...

But I do see it as a tiny fault ... ummmmm, what's that word again ... arrogance? Then again, in everything except matters of the heart, I am usually right ...

And sure the Mayor blurts stuff out to people such as the mayor of Everett. I'm a blurter, too.

Maybe the Mayor and I are the same person. When was the last time you saw us both in the same place?

But seriously, folks, this is a big issue and deserves close scrutiny. Everyone has their opinion, and anyone can see from reading comments attached to landfill stories on the daily's website that a lot of people think that the landfill neighbor's claims are bogus.

It has now gone deeper than that, though. So while blessing their socks, I will also say to the City Council and the Mayor that whatever you get out of these posts, you should get that people are paying attention (remember that someone else supplied the third instance of Council passing an appointment in one reading, when I couldn't remember what it was).

That and hits on this blog shot way up all last week (even Friday, which is usually slow), although I am surprised no one made any comment.

* He did not form the landfill committee - Mary Anne Clancy did, when she was mayor.
