I don't like creating a big "County Board" with a manager who is beholden to a 6 person majority, and make no mistake, that majority will materialize and make sure the manager does what he or she is told.<br /><br />I still don't see where there are any more safeguards that the new system will be any less corruptible than what we currently have. Until Mayor Haggerty and his side can tell me that, without pointing fingers like he did tonight, I have to vote NO to this charter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
