Say What?

Barb Olsen the president of progressive action had this to say about County Attorney Ford. This was because Ford was a keynote speaker at one of there events.



“Melanie Ford has shown incredible strength and tenacity in her first 15 months in office,” Olsen commented. “We look forward to hearing from Ms. Ford about what she believes are the biggest issues facing St. Louis County today and facing her as well as the county’s top legal voice.”



The only thing that Ford has done sense winning is be on a witch hunt. That maybe what this group wanted however. Ms. Ford has been nothing but a puppet to special interest groups and last I checked that was not what the county's top legal adviser is to do.



This event already went on and it would have been interesting to hear what was said.

County Board gets a Code of Conduct.

The board voted 7-0 to approve the code of conduct. As many people know a code of conduct is something I have always been against. I have said many times why this is. At this time however I am not going to bring that info forward as I have been asked not to at this point.

All I will say at this point is I would anticipate some comments from a number of people later. Tell this happens I will hold my comments as well.

Nelson- Comments on slavery comments.

Okay so two county board members had a pissing match over the possible smoking ban.

Bill Kron and Keith Nelson had an converstation over representing there areas, about the smoking ban and in that time slavery came up.

Kron asked Nelson if he would support slavery if the people he represents wanted him to, after waiting to speak and reply to Kron, Nelson said he would if that is what the majority wanted. That is all and it was of course taken out of context.

Nelson's point was he would support what his area wanted him to do. It was a fight first started by Kron and people are making Nelson look like the bad guy.

What would you expect by the left and the unions.

The discussion lead to the passing a dumb code of conduct. That passed 5-2, with two board members have common sence. Kieth Nelson and Fink both voted against it.
