Certainly hope not...

If this the wave of things to come, everyone needs to hold onto their hats over the next two years. Today, during a Board of County Commission Land Use meeting, Chairwoman Diane Rowden was not only rude, but openly arrogant, in her approach to outgoing Commissioner Robinson. Partisanship is one thing but there is absolutely no excuse for bad manners. Mrs. Rowden's lack of respect for her commitment to the community was also displayed at the end of this meeting on another issue. She informed her fellow commissioners that she would be attending an event at Veteran's Park this Saturday, November 11th, instead of attending the 6th Annual Veterans Appreciation Parade. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this declaration to the Veterans Park event if Ms. Rowden had been truthful in the first place. Yes see, Mrs. Rowden had her administrative assistance email the parade coordinator last week to say the commissioner would miss the parade due to her mother's illness. Will this the new direction promised by democrats include the open display of bad manners, superficial patriotism, and dishonesty over the next two years? I certainly hope not...
