They all want to control the City Council to achieve their goals. Those goals may not be what the citizens want. It is time that we require the city to come to the voters, like other cities in Iowa, to seek bond approval for many of these projects. We need to change the Charter of the City to require a vote for project such as River Front Development, and large dollar give aways that have to be bonded.<BR/><BR/>Citizens, it is time that we take the power back that belongs to the people and not to "Special Interest Groups" in the city of Davenport.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12726606.post-34704693153852419292007-10-13T23:50:00.000-05:002007-10-13T23:50:00.000-05:00There seems to be a nasty bunch of comments about ...There seems to be a nasty bunch of comments about Phil Yerington and the Land Lord group. The real power is not in the office of the Mayor. In fact, all you need is 8 Aldermen voting for an issue and the Mayor's veto is worthless. The City Council is the one that the landlords need in their pocket. DavenportOne and their behind the close door PAC (maybe more than one PAC) is the one that is trying to get rid of Hamerlick, Meyer, Ambrose, Lynn, and elect Meeker (who openly states that Davenport Citizens should pay increased taxes for Downtown and Riverfront Development) and Mr. Brown in the first ward, I. Frinck and Matson. Look where the donations are going from PAC's.<BR/><BR/>DavenportOne is concerned on their income flow from the city to maintain their inflated staff. If we look at the give aways by the City Council that has brought a few jobs to Davenport the cost per job both taxpayers directly and by the dollars given to DavenportOne are out of line. How come we lost so many jobs at Rock Island Arsenal. Where was D1 early on? When was the possible job loss brought up to the people of Davenport? I understand it was long before the 2005 BRAC.<BR/><BR/>People need to dig into Boom's background. I have heard some strange things about a recent party he had. One of the lady's at that party has told a story, if true, makes me concerned that we may have another problem person coming to the City Council. I understand that Dan Lubell does not not like Meyer because of his stands for the people in his ward. Maybe we ought to be concerned that Dan has Boom in his pocket too! Remember Keith was a supervisor for Scott County Welfare when the county ran the welfare program.<BR/><BR/>Bill Lynn had a contract with the President of MICROSOFT to do an analysis of the economic value of a project. Why would Mr. Allan hire a professor from St. Ambrose University? What rare talent exists in Dr. Lynn that we do not know about and that the President of MICROSOFT knew about? Why does City of Davenport not utilize the full talent of this elected alderman? Would we not save a lot of consulting fees? Did he not do a good job in helping the people of the Village of East Davenport recently. I know a couple of the business people there and they are happy with his assistance and results. Those who claim that he is doing illegal things must remember that he is tenured at St. Ambrose and doing anything illegal would cost him that status.<BR/><BR/>There are some interesting things about Phil Yerington that few people know. But, during the campaign, I hope that they are brought out. Someone should ask about his trip to Washington, D.C. shortly after he was elected with Aldermen Tom Carroll and George Nicholas, former Mayor Thom Hart and Phil Yerington. Where did they go and who did they see? What was the purpose of that trip besides the National League of Cities?<BR/><BR/>Phil has proven he can work with members of both parties. He appointed Republicans as Chairman of committees when he was elected as a Democrat. He had a whole group of Democrats that were elected with him. Why? Because he looks for the best person to do the job. I think that people ought to listen to Phil and what he is saying rather than who gave him money. <BR/><BR/>How many lawyers have given candidates money over the years that deal with the city. Can $500.00, $100.00, $50.00 buy your vote? I hope not. Money comes in from all different groups. Maybe we ought to follow the money of the DavenportOne PAC that they have set up to funnel money to their chosen few!! As that movie with Tom Cruise punch line goes "Show Me The Money!" Well voters ought to look at where the big, big dollars are going to in this election. Are those people in their pocket? <BR/><BR/>How come Ms. Lewis moved into Ray Ambrose Ward? Did Terra Barney have anything to do with that move? Do we have what they call "A Carpet Bagger" or a Trojan Horse in the 4th Ward? Why do they want to get rid of Ray Ambrose? <BR/><BR/>We need to get back to Democrat and Republican Party Elections in Davenport. Maybe then we could weed out some of this cruption by dollars and sources of our candidates. Party disapline would go a long way towards correcting things in Davenport.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12726606.post-7646561432421966292007-10-13T11:26:00.000-05:002007-10-13T11:26:00.000-05:00I have accepted Jennifer Olsen's invitation to vis...I have accepted Jennifer Olsen's invitation to visit her web site. I don't find too much to disagree with and believe she can be effective at large. When I look at her issues I do see some common ground with other candidates, her voice isn't entirely unique. The issues are good issues.<BR/><BR/>When I look at her positions on economic development, especially beyond SOLO, I have a hard time understanding what her views are. Her comments are very vague when talking about city-wide economic development. An example:<BR/><BR/>"MAKING EVERYONE A PART OF A BETTER DAVENPORT. "<BR/>"We must make economic development in our established neighborhoods and commercial areas a priority....... It is essential that our plans involve the residents and businesses that currently are in these neighborhoods." "We must be both strategic and selective with our public funding for all city projects."<BR/><BR/>Economic development in established areas would be great. How does it happen? What kinds of programs might be put in place? Do they have an economics pay-back to the private investors? A lot of questions to be asked and answered by who?<BR/>And, what does "We must be both strategic and selective with our public funding for all city projects." mean? What are the criteria? Does the first dollar go SOLO and then other priorities are considered? What is the strategy?<BR/><BR/>These are my questions. I hope Jennifer Olsen will expand her views. In fairness, go to www.JennOlsen.com and read her issues and form your own view.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12726606.post-6095174420706334992007-10-13T10:37:00.000-05:002007-10-13T10:37:00.000-05:00Get a life Dan.
