Cheryl Scott apparently doesn't think very much of the voters in Ward 1.
To see what she thinks, read a recent article in the Kansas City Star at http://www.kansascity.com/2010/03/25/1836709/shawnee-councilwoman-resigns-leaving.html
Keep in mind that she bought her new home in Arizona on Nov 25, 2009 and sold her Shawnee home on December 28, 2009. She could have resigned back then, with a delayed effective date, so that her seat could have been put on the April 6th ballot. She has since resigned, and with a delayed date, but too late to go on the ballot for the April 6th election.
Now, here is what what was published in the KC Star:
Scott stressed that the sale on her Shawnee home didn’t close until March 12, and she said she did what she believed was right for the city.
"I felt that the best thing to do was to stay until after the election and let the council appoint my replacement," Scott said.
So, she thinks it is better for the council to select her replacement instead of the voters. Nice going Cheryl.
Did she think it was right for the city for the voters to initially elect her 6 years ago? Did she think it was right for the city that 2 years ago her challenger dropped out, but too late to come off the ballot, and many folks affirmed her for her seat? So why is it not right for the city at this time for the voters to pick her replacement for the council?
Go back to my original post on this subject: http://shawneeray.blogspot.com/2010/01/great-scottis-she-moving.html Did I call this one or not?
