EDITOR: Aurora is not a small city anymore. Most of Council makes us proud in their attire, speaking and professionalism. Our mayor does this effortlessly. Then we have the others who just do not cut it in this day and age. I am for censuring bad behavior. I don’t put up with it at my job, why should the other council members have to put up with this? It’s been a long time coming.

EDITOR: Mayor Steve Hogan says you may argue that not going to a policy committee meeting might mean you are not doing your job. But isn’t the policy committee the place that the Aurora Charter article that forbids council members to give direction to city staff goes to die, the place fresh ideas are killed, and the place controversial items are placed in limbo?
The Charter calls for a part-time council, does not set ward meetings, nor does the charter insist that council members attend study session with its faux votes on policy questions. The mayor’s memory may not be as good as it once was; I believe he was around when Mayor Fred Hood was indicted, tried and convicted for his participation in Science Fiction Land.

EDITOR: Gee. I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that there are five Democrats running for the Aurora City Council? Why were the rules changed now? What a bunch of petty bullies.

EDITOR: It’s about time, and please do not think the voters pay attention to the bad behavior. We currently have one council member, Molly Markert, who assaulted a school employee, and she got reelected. That same woman, used her position on council to bully a business she had issues with, all under the guise of the majority of her citizens didn’t like the business. Wait, there were three people who didn’t like it. It’s about time to allow for censure, perhaps all of council should go and Charlie should lead the way. Please take the city manger with you.

EDITOR: My heavens, do the Aurora City Council members wish to appoint themselves God? Have all but three of our city representatives disowned the theory of democracy? It is not up to fellow council members to decide if a colleague is being “inappropriate” or “not responsible.” It is up to the voters. I think we voters should immediately censure (and then fire) all seven of the members who voted for this absurd rule, since it is so inappropriate and irresponsible. Let’s vote them all out of office, fellow voters, except for Peterson, Markert, and Mounier. We don’t need a dictatorship in Aurora.
