Five more days and Jeff "The Arrogant One" Vaught will be gone from the city council.
Halleleujah!!!!!!!!!!!!
On 12/20/17 I posted an item about the Westbrooke Green project. During my comments I exceeded the time limit allowed for citizen input. Procedure is that a council member may make a motion to extend the speaking time and if seconded it is voted on and if approved the speaker gets some more time. This has happened to me (and others) in the past. Usually it is close to a pro forma action. On this particular night two of the councilmembers voted no........Vaught and Neighbor. On 12/20 I said I would post some commentary in the future about that. The future is here and now.
Over the years Vaught has pontificated that he was in favor of transparency in government, in meetings etc. Ironically, any long time reader of this blog knows that his actions contradicted his verbalizations. Hypocrite extraordinaire. Fortunately the city will no longer have to put up with his arrogance, his bullying (of fellow council members and the public) and his long winded diatribes (akin to putting the listening public through the pain of over verbosity similar to former council member Dawn "Motormouth" Kuhn).
As for Neighbor's "no" vote on this matter, what can I say? Now that his puppet master is no longer involved with the city he is probably at a loss at to what to do.
