Petitions, UCO and Delays

So the CVMessenger had its Town Meeting Wednesday. It was attended by 53 people that wanted the facts. What bothered me is that unless you go to one of the CVMessenger meetings or read the Blogs you have no way of getting the facts. You hear nothing of  intelligence coming from the UCO Administration.

One of the things that was discussed was the need for By-Law changes. There is a need for a By-Law that says you cannot be in charge of a media outlet, channel 63, the UCO Reporter, and be on a Board that controls these outlets. Another was a rule that says you can only get 1 bite at the apple. That meaning you cannot be  a voting member on more than 1 committee at a time. And of course for the second time a Term Limits by-Law.

But worse yet. The rules, that are set up by St.David Israel,, are such that getting these By-Law changes and additions are virtually impossible.

The rules require that the form of the By-Laws Petitions be submitted separately and one at a time. And that the Petitions be actually signed. (Mail in ballots are not allowed). You cannot combine them. If you do not follow these rules your petition will be returned to you for redoing. These causes delay after delay. Petitions delayed is Petitions denied. Justice delayed is Justice denied.

So the CVMessenger is starting a Petition, or rather Petitions to address these issues. The DA will not see it presented for a Vote for at least 3-4 months from now, if then.

Is that fair? Is that just? The will of the DA is not going to see this brought for a vote until maybe November or December.

So if you are against these changes. One, of which is Term Limits, then the longer the delay the better. But for the good the Village, not so.
