Clearly the elections are some way off. Bye bye pool. Wonder how we would vote if we really knew what this lot got up to in our name whilst we foot the bills and their salaries? Guess it so easy to get away with anything when there is an uninterested electoral, not giving a dam if these guys even turn up for work. Guess I just made the case for a dictatorship.

Not one councillor showed for the last Inveraray Community Council Meeting. They were leaving it yet again to the volunteers. Volunteers are the ones with the zips in the back of their heads at council meetings in their own time, unpaid, can’t miss them. If only the community councils would publish their minutes online along with progress the councillors actual make on agenda items. That would sort out the rotten wood pretty quick.

Lewis Mumford said ~ The way people in democracies think of the government as something different from themselves is a real handicap. And, of course, sometimes the government confirms their opinion.

We have a lot of opinion confirmation going on at the moment in Argyll. Roll on the elections can’t wait to see if the people of Argyll will have the bottle to break with stayed tradition and say enough is enough, now is the time for new councillors cut from a different cloth. We want accountability and transparency in a councillor. Not clever press releases designed to keep the truth from the local voters and tax payers on your intent or reasoning.
