A sunny Sunday and an interesting time listening to a local politician show how to get on both sides of every issue and not ever be accountable for his own actions.
Terry Bornemann spent an hour or so responding to residents' concerns at a neighborhood picnic this afternoon. His fellow council members should know that he blamed them for half the problems and the mayor for the other half. With every response, he would explain how he alone or with one other council member had tried to do the right thing while the rest of the council would not go along. The most common reference was "them" and it referred to either the rest of the council, the mayor or city department heads.
Maybe I just don't follow city politics closely enough. My impression of Terry is very different. Terry has been Mayor Mark's bosom friend all these years and one of the reliable 'yes' persons for the mayor whether transferring budget funds, stalling on solutions to the problems we've had for his 8 years in office or prosecuting kids for free speech. He has been in lock step with other members of the council on most decisions for inaction. His idea of a solution is a study group. Of course none of the others were present so he could safely put the onus on 'them'. The residents seemed to believe it all.
I am voting for Bill Geyer. I urge all to carefully listen to Bill and his ideas. If you like them then let's give Bill a chance by electing him to the city council. Contrary, if you like Terry's ideas - and you find them new - then it is correct to wonder why you have not heard these from Terry before now. He has been on the council for eight years and has done little. His ideas seem to be just that - ideas with no action behind them.
