Last Tuesday's committee meeting was no exception. First, and it's been mentioned before, he has obviously inherited the title of "Motormouth" from former council member Dawn Kuhn. At times he just goes on and on and on and on and on ad nauseum.
Now let's see what he did last week at that meeting. Seems that when another member of the council has objections about new taxes he starts making denigrating comments about conservative republicans, and how Ronald Reagan "raised taxes nine times". First it took a member of the public, not me, to remind the committee that our meetings are non-partisan. Next, just to make the statement that Reagan raised taxes nine times, without detailed explanation is doing everyone a disservice. But then, Vaught likes to mislead. It's in his nature. Now, if you would like to learn more about this, and I would strongly recommend that his royal arrogance reads it too, to become educated, go here:
What next? Oh, during the budget discussions, Vaught, in his characteristic "I know it all" attitude made a comment that all senior staff were concerned about the budget since they all lived in Shawnee. Not true, oh one who does not know everything. The number two person in the City Manager's office, the Deputy, does not live in Shawnee. But then, he knows everything, just ask him.
Last but not least. He should learn not to challenge the voters in Ward 3. He made a comment that if they didn't like the way he represented them, they could vote not to reelect him. Apparently he has both a short memory and an inability to perform basic mathematical calculations. Just one year ago, his royal egomaniac entered the primary race for mayor. As we all know, he never got past the primary. Voters didn't want him to lead our city. They know what he is all about. But here is the kicker. In Ward 3, his ward, he only got 32.26% of the vote in the mayoral primary. That means that 67.74% of the voters in his ward told him, "we don't want you to lead the city". Bet that is a premonition of what will happen if runs for reelection. Can his ego handle another election loss?
