Ballot Issue Update

Council Member Hunt handed this to me after the meeting Monday with no comment. It outlines the rules I have already posted (and emailed to the council and mayor) that our elected officials must use regarding use of public resources to promote their personal opinions about our upcoming ballot measure (to change the form of government.

Hunt's silent notice delivered here confirms my expectation that we will soon receive a mailing giving their point of view on the issue at tax payers expense. Hopefully they will try to keep it "educational", but since the town has never done an informational mailing, nor ever used the town newsletter to discuss these types of issues, they will be in violation of Public Disclosure Rules.

Frankly, I'm not sure I have the energy for yet another petty battle. It points again to their selective interpretation and unwillingness to look at issues based on what is best for Ruston as a whole. But what else is new?
