TKC BLOG COMMUNITY TOLD YOU SO!!! JACKSON COUNTY EXEC FRANK WHITE SUFFERS OVERRIDE & STILL CONFRONTS SOLID LEGISLATURE OPPOSITION!!!

We talked about the move to sustain continued opposition Exec Frank White over the weekend and now it's news fact . . .
"Jackson County legislators Monday overrode a veto by County Executive Frank White of sweeping changes proposed for the county charter. It was a six-to-three vote with the same old discussion and the same old division on the nine-member legislature."
It was surprising that the Star even jumped on the bandwagon and argued against Exec White's veto.
More to the point . . .
EXEC FRANK WHITE SMACKED DOWN TODAY SHOWS US THAT HIS "POPULARITY" DOESN'T COUNT FOR MUCH WHEN IT COMES TO LEGISLATION!!! IT'S SOMEWHAT FITTING THAT THE CELEBRITY POLITICO NOW CLINGS TO ANY REAL POWER THAT COMES WITH HIS OFFICE!!!
A few takeaways . . .
- Sure, everybody hates pay raises for politicos but there's more at stake in this debate and we think the main point here might be establishing greater checks and balances at the Courthouse.
- This legislation at the center of this debate STRIPS AWAY A LOT OF THE POWER FROM THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE and voters might think it's necessary given that last guy in charge turned out to be a convicted felon and the current Administration has been constantly at war with colleagues.
- Team Frank lost their bid to power opposition candidates against this bloc in the latest election and now upcoming charter changes that severely limit the Exec are the price they're paying. The last step in this fight is a lawsuit betwixt these politicos to determine "good government" rules & regs.
Developing . . .
Can't help but think that this is really over how the legislature is constantly left out of decisions from Frank. Better communication between the offices might have avoided the loss. But Frank has never been hands on about stuff like that.
ReplyDeleteNO NEW TAXES!
DeleteHard to find a good guy here, what I will say is that I hope they can move past this and try to figure out the jail before the latest nightmare becomes public and they have to raise property taxes again to pay off their legal bills.
