Stephanie Meyer, candidate for mayor in Shawnee is again talking out of both sides of her mouth. She's a cute piece of work, that definitely does not deserve to be mayor of Shawnee.
Don't believe me? Try these statements concerning the consideration of an NDO (non-discrimination ordinance) for Shawnee. OK, I will not comment at this point on the pros or cons of such a thing. Just want to point out how Meyer plays both sides.
From the questionnaire she answered for the Citizens for a Better Shawnee:
Q4 Are there areas you feel the city government should not be involved with?
I believe that government should play as limited a role as possible in our residents' lives, while providing for their safety, welfare, and the overall stability of our community. Regarding city government, this includes many social issues that are most appropriately dealt with at the state or federal levels.
From a recent article in the Shawnee Mission Post:
As policy makers, it is our job to be sure that our actions and decisions follow legal precedent, statute, and authority. Often times, in local government, that means waiting on clarification from a higher jurisdiction. What cannot be lost in that process, however, is the more important question of "Is this the right thing to do?"
Many months in the making, I’m happy to announce that at our August 13 Council Committee meeting, we will take up the discussion of a non-discrimination ordinance. We cannot continue to wait for others to act.
I have a question for her: Don/t your jaws hurt when you talk out of both sides of your mouth?
