Now that J.J. has Tim, how long will it be before the rest of the fee officers slap the voters in the face ? Will Fred hire Mike ? Will Sherry hire Steve ? Will Billy hire Mike ? John Whitehead has gotten by with hiring Parkey @ $70,000 plus since he was elected, so why won't the rest try??

Wimmer waited a day to reveal Lambert's offer. Why wait? Wimmer seemed concerned about making enemies and losing any chance at holding public office in the future. He seems ambitious, which was his problem in the election last year. His platform was "I'm electable", which is not much of a platform in a local race.

We would all do well to stop and remember that Wednesday was all about politics. In every political situation there are winners and losers. And each side thinks it believes it is doing the right thing. It is the system by which our Country is run.
We each will have the opportunity to vote in 2008 on each appointee. If you don't like what happened Wednesday, campaign against them, work against them, and vote against them. Wednesday was really our own fault. It is up to us, the voters, to enforce term limits. If we choose, we don't have to re-elect anyone, ever. All the name calling and mud-slinging does not produce any positive results.
The only true way to hold any politician accountable is to vote.
