Winter is herein full force this week. However, if we are
not thinking about political issues, there is at least hope. Be prepared to
lose an hour’s sleep Saturday night; Daylight Savings Time starts Sunday. With
it comes 40/50-degree temperatures, not sub-freezing.
Hope is a foreign concept when it comes to our Council who
Monday night, with one objection from an unexpected source, voted to accept on
first reading to abdicate is oversee control on hiring and firing in favor of the
whim of the Mayor.
Since one of the Councils other charges is to approve
contracts, another function which it has ceded to the Administration by its
blankly in-block approving items on the agenda, should it not also vote to dissolve
itself and save taxpayer monies that can better be used? But fear not;
featherbedding is a rampant political exercise.
In DC not much has changed. Congress will pass a bill
voiding the President’s State of Emergency, Trump will veto the bill and there
will not be enough votes in the Republican controlled Senate to override the
veto.
Trump will continue to emulate his dictator idols with
autocratic actions which the public accepts just as we Plainfielders accept
Mapp’s.
