When the redistricting process is high-jacked by a chairman, it’s called gerrymandering which is an attempt to divide or arrange (an area) into political units to give special advantages to one group. Some examples of gerrymandering supporting elements may include: A. Lack of transparency with very limited public and council member access to the specifics […]

Is there some good reason that you continue to disregard parliamentary procedures and Robert’s Rules of Order? At the November 16th board meeting Trustee Agostini “moved” to add a Human Resources Update to the draft agenda for the December 14th meeting. The only words that Teresa should have spoken were, “Is there a second?” The […]

It’s way past time to add the second comments section back to the county council meeting agendas. The second comment session has historically been at the end of the meeting agenda to allow folks to address their concerns about items of concern in the county that are not on the agenda.

This was one of the most awful videos I’ve viewed in a long time. This should show the citizens why voting is so important. All that money the county receiving and $1200 is being divided for everyone. That’s a crock. Those four on the top row need to be replaced immediately. I’m appalled at what’s […]

Bah Humbug…or was it the Grinch?? Well somebody or someone tried to steal Christmas 2021! Last year the Blythewood Rotary Club had an incredibly successful fundraiser selling Christmas Trees and Wreaths at the corner of University Parkway and Blythewood Road. The Club used the monies to fund $8,000 in scholarships for high school seniors in […]
