A couple days late on this, but it's still worth noting that Doug Eppherhart of City Watch blog showed up for the neighborhood council elections, run by the city clerk. When we say showed up, we mean really really showed up -- twelve times! He voted everywhere. Good thing he wasn't paid. Apparently, all you have to do to be a "stakeholder" in a neighborhood is buy (cheaper) gas at the gas station. He could have said "I like to come to this neighborhood and throw trash on the sidewalk" and they'd hand him a ballot...with a smile. Chicken Corner has been hearing grumblings about hostility from the paid city toward the volunteer neighborhood councils in general. How "the city" would like the neighborhood councils to fail. I mean, Chicken Corner is just a Chicken Corner and had no opinion on the matter. But now Chicken Corner reads Epperhart's adventure and wonders...how much was spent by the city clerk on such a flimsy effort.
