Some people learn very well from history. David Israel and Ed Black have learned very well how to use the technique of the oft repeated lie, its repetition leading to acceptance as truth. Thus he and his crew will whine about the time spent before choosing a provider, then claim it "is the best contract ever!" and refuse to answer any questions concerning its details. Evidently we are not entitled to know the details, the minutiae, as they call it, of the contract. I would like to know since when the details of a contract are not important to know, particularly when these supposed little details are the guts of the contract, the exact reasons why a new contract was required.
And why a new contract? Because the committee had evidently NOT done the job right the first time around. And why was that? Simply because they needed to rush thru the contract when placed in front of the DA, then and now. So, will history repeat itself here? Why not, as just look at how many lousy contracts we have suffered thru and all the fault of UCO who does not do due diligence.
Now we have the pontifications of Lanny Howe who evidently is doing some slipping from total robot approval of David Israel so watch yourself, check for that knife in the back feeling from your beloved lord and master. He states that perhaps it might have been a good idea for Ed Black to explain some of the contract before asking for approval. Ya think!!!
To understand the stupidity of not checking details in contracts, why just look to the previous contract for security, the road paving contract, the contract that David Israel was so desperate for us to sign re the Wi Fi, you know, the one with the company DSI that was so bad that Boca, after spending millions, DROPPED out of due to the fact that it was a lousy and useless deal for them. It does not work.
Now the excuse here in CV is that "oh, we can't help it if the provider does not perform well." Really, well then whose fault is it!!!! Probably the DA has a large part in this as the older ones, the ones who need to be put out to pasture, continue to obey he who must be obeyed. They refuse to think for themselves or perhaps cannot think for themselves any longer. These are the people that Eva claims cannot be bothered with political realities so please, no politics anywhere but in David's lying mouth and those of his henchmen.
Anyway, after Lanny concedes that it could have been done better, he then waxes poetic how the whole system is not good, just so clumsy, after all, asking the DA to approve expenses is just passe. Understand what is happening. First it was too much of a bother to approve "small" expenses, the ones over $1,000 and now it is just too much bother to approve ANY expenses, even the ones that run over a million dollars! For Pete's sake, people, delegates, wake the Hell up!
You delegates who sit out there and like a bunch of pacified cows just go ahead and routinely approve whatever is asked of you are not accepting of the truth that you are agreeing to vote yourselves out of office, out of any semblance of use or purpose. When that finally happens, the "holy circle" of people that are constantly recirculated in this administration will have the power to just spend all our money without oversight, take however much percentage they want out of it as there is no supervision and let our Village slide into total slumhood, total disaster and then, who knows, perhaps the Levys will give up on CV as it is no longer a cash cow and just sell the ground out from under us. Who knows what could happen - and all because people refuse to see reality.
Inch by inch the DA has yielded authority to David Israel and now he no longer asks by the inch but by the mile. Any opposition is railed against, cursed, portrayed as evil people. Do you honestly think that we want to be doing this? Hey, I have too many other things to do. I am not an obsessed and obsessive person who has no life other than to sit in the UCO office 24/7 doing what? Who knows? Making nefarious plans? Probably, possibly? Checking out people and their histories on the Net? Most probably. There is simply a sick quality about this and this is never a good thing in a political "leader".
Listen to Phyllis Richland. Watch her video. Think about the new day that could be, that should be and honestly appraise yourselves. If you are not doing your job as a delegate, then resign. We have the right to check how our funds are spent and if some "hard work" does not end in a contract, well, such is life. That happens every day on every level, be it contracting for work in a private home all the way to the top of the Federal government. Too often people are too tired to truly vet what they are signing, too foolish in believing lies and then one has a mess. We have had enough messes here in the Village. Enough, I say. Enough, Lanny. Enough, Ed Black, and certainly enough of David Israel.
The system we now have in place is ripe for abuse and has been abused. That is why we are trying to get our by laws amended to insure that "POWER TO THE PEOPLE" is the way to go and the way it should be and was meant to be until some people just had to mess with it in order to control that very same power. Stand up for your rights. Demand them as we did all those years ago. To paraphrase Shakespeare, get your courage to the sticking point and as the Bible says before battle, "gird your loins" for the fight and then we will prevail and CV will be under a new day, a new sun, a new leader, with fresh air and hope for our future.
