That had to have been a tough call to make on Sean's(and others) part. It removes allot of civil angst that I heard and felt on both sides with many I've spoken with on the effort.

Let this be a warning to Joe Di Vito or anyone else that sits on the council. Listen to your constituents, admit your shortcomings and by all means serve those that elected you.

I signed on the petition as a proponent, not as the
proponent, and had my name dragged through the mud by
a couple of unsavory council members, yet, still
I look for civil discourse from these folks yielding
their precarious power. This community is larger
than the sum of any parts and I pray often that
the light still shine's through the fog. By the way does
any else notice the frenzy of traffic around town
at peak hours and at lunch time? They seem like new
comers who are in a frenzied dash somewhere and
not willing and able to slow down and take notice of where they are...

Take a look at City Clerk Carlon.

Carroll - I don't have a clue what you are talking about, and your link just goes to the MySpace homepage. Instead of cluttering three threads on The Ojai Post with talk of citizen's arrests and vague gotcha accusations, why not write something coherent.

from the Ojai Valley News, Friday July 27, 2007:

Ventura County resident Carol Dean Williams strutted to the podium at Tuesday night's City Council meeting and told the City Clerk Carlon Strobel that he was going to arrest her, to the dismay of council members.

that's just to establish a clue as to what he's talking about. as for the rest, Tyler's right on in terms of tact, etiquette, and coherency.

wtf

Carroll - you aren't making any sense. I've already suggested that you write something coherent. Is there a story or not?
