Quick Blurbs for Busy BloggersIRBlurb: The Pinellas County Sheriff’s contact has, as of this blog posting, NOT yet been signed by the City of IRB. What’s up with that?
IRBlurb: The Planning and Zoning Board voted unanimously to remove all references to the defunct Beach Management Plan from revisions being made to IRB’s Comprehensive Plan during the E.A.R. review. The commission, however, reversed that decision and the Beach Management Plan—a subject that never fails to fill the seats at City Hall with beach-loving butts—lives to see another day. If citizens don’t take action now, the plan that so many residents vehemently opposed could actually become part of the City’s long-range plan in the area of beach maintenance, preservation and recreation. What’s up with that?
IRBlurb: Did you know that there is a movement afoot to eliminate some of the City’s charter officers? Charter officers, like the City Clerk and City Treasurer, are different than City staff employees in that their fiduciary duty is to US…the citizens of IRB. If these positions, currently mandated by our charter are eliminated, citizen’s rights will be further diminished. What’s up with that?

I don't get it, who is running this vaudeville act here in town? Since we do not have a "Real" city manager I seriously doubt its Danny calling the shots. Can this commission make these decisions without discussion or a vote? How can these (to quote a prior post) Dolts decide that they will ignore the P&Z board and move forward with the unpopular beach mgt plan? Less charter officers, oh yea that makes great sense and while we are at it why dont we just renegotiate a new contract with less police protection and overtime for the librarian......the whole thing stinks to high heaven. WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET SOME TRANSPARENCY & ACCOUNTABILITY around here??
You all can thank leo; j. coppen; v. wood; j. driscoll; r. montgomery, d. holmes and j. labidie and their a2k henchmen; c. mcglothman, j. johnstone, f. bob, and a few others for the comedy act we have for a commission. It would be funny if it was not so expensive and degrading to our small town atmosphere.
Take note of leo's blog and how he has now turned on the fab five but refuses to own up to his part in the destruction of our town.
Too few believeable answers to legitimate questions, too many lies and too many personal agendas have put us in this position. And the press looks the other way because they profit from development.
Todays CNN Money Poll:
What should states and cities try first to deal with the financial crisis?
Cut services 72%
Raise taxes 13%
Ask Washington for help 15%
As of 4pm 12k people responded
overwhelming cut services vs raise taxes. What does IRB do, raise taxes, fees and cut essential services like police. These guys are so out of touch! Investors have already lost trillions of dollars of wealth from the sell off on Wall Street and we are supposed to give more of our hard earned after tax dollars to the City? All of this during a time when nobody can tell us FOR SURE how much money we really have and where it is all going or what to call it?
We dont need change here in town, we need reform!
