So, the great one, David Israel is now fighting to keep his quest for a lifetime Presidency alive. He has accused the people that are in favor of term limits as being Malcontents, Disruptors and Lawsuit Launchers. In other words, it is all his opposition that he is tagging with these names. Although the history of Term Limits is long, it goes back to Roman times, it has been part and partial of the UCO by-Laws since the very beginning.
What happened was that the sly one, David Israel, decided that he wanted to be President for life and so he campaigned for the removal of the existing Term Limits. The Delegates, unaware of his ultimate goal, allowed it to pass. Once that was done the path to a life-long Presidency was in site and could be attained.
So now we have to deal with this again. There is no need for life-long administrative jobs in our Village.
What we need, now, is fresh faces, fresh ideas, and fresh vigor. Not having Term Limits just opens the doors to corruption. Corruption that exhibits as self as to keep the Committees populated by their friends. Exhibits itself as not allowing anybody to speak freely either at the Committee meeting or at the Delegate Assembly. Fresh ideas are stifled with insulting remarks.
It exhibits itself by the pushing for his, David Israel's, plan for a Village-wide WiFi, over the will of the DA. They turned it down in an over-whelming vote.
All of this is the product of a sense of empowerment that the major administrators have since they have no fear of curtailment. In essence, they are being elected for life.
Because we have given them the job for life
I ask again what is wrong with Fresh ideas, new ideas from new and vigorous people?
You must support Term Limits.
The argument coming from the pro term limits side that valuable people will be prevented from serving CV is not really accurate. There are un-elected people volunteering at UCO on a daily basis. The only real difference is that they are not in charge or control of the activities. If people really have idealistic reasons for serving the village they would continue to serve whether they are elected or not.
