POTPOURRI NOT ALL FRIVOLOUS



All who wish to have a chance to question or have an opinion about the PMUA and/or the Youth Baseball leagues should attend tonight’s Council meeting. Of course at least regarding the PMUA there will be no opportunity for the public until the comment period at the end of the meeting. That session is limited to one hour by Council rules but may be extended by unanimous agreement.

That was a game to watch last night. The results were not in until the last second. Two records, one tied with the run back of the second half kickoff. The other was the first time the lights had gone out during a Super Bowl game. Neither team should feel bad about how they played.

Both area prognosticating Ground Hogs did not see their shadow so we will not have six more weeks of winter. They have been right only about 38% of the time and the weatherman has at least a 50% chance. To be sure they did not say that we might not have 5 weeks and 6 days of winter.

Since February is usually the worst winter month and there is always a snow storm around Easter the odds are against their being right.

What is not trivia are the resolutions that will be discussed tomorrow night. During the past two years The Council with a New Dems majority  passed resolutions and ordinances requiring the awarding of professional contracts including insurance to be by closed low qualified bid. 

There have been newspaper reports about how “the fair and open” process or “pay to play” cost municipalities exorbitant sums of dollars. As the Council votes we will learn if it is for friends (donors) or foe (you and I). Come and listen to any discussion.
