I thought 'gee that Konop may not be such a stinker after all' after reading the editorial. Yes, meant to say editorial b/c it was influenced by a private agenda and opinion.<BR/><BR/>Ferguson was kind to show up for the Commission meeting. Konop does not understand the chain of command.<BR/><BR/>I am surely not surprised to hear that Pete Gerken thinks the BCC money is their own money. Not surprised at all.katebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421985130851337710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-40881915148176169422007-09-27T08:00:00.000-04:002007-09-27T08:00:00.000-04:00Christopher - I didn't address the validity of Kon...Christopher - I didn't address the validity of Konop's issues or concerns, except to say that his 'discontent' seems to be more related to Ferguson's lack of jumping on command.<BR/><BR/>If, as stated in today's follow-up Blade story, he's already taken his concerns to the LCIC Board, I'd have to ask WHY the board doesn't agree? Is it because Ben's ideas of 'tasks' are not shared by the other board members? Is it because Ben wants Ferguson to work on specific things that would prevent Ferguson from working on tasks the Board, as a whole, has given him?<BR/><BR/>Why won't anyone, except me, ask these questions?<BR/><BR/>Ferguson has been working extensively on the arena project per the direction of the LCIC AND the commissioners, including Ben.<BR/><BR/>Is Ben correct that the LCIC can be doing more? He may be...but, failing to convince his fellow board members to support his wants, he's gone public. Unfortunately, he's blaming the wrong person. His issue isn't with the employee of the LCIC, his issue is with the LCIC...but that would mean criticizing his fellow Dems and we all know that's not allowed.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677808307727487766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-6516304719260688952007-09-27T07:51:00.000-04:002007-09-27T07:51:00.000-04:00Sorry, that last comment had incorrect identificat...Sorry, that last comment had incorrect identification.<BR/><BR/>The link to my blog is http://blog.buckeyepayroll.comChili Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10869147860242363971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-25353998646286341812007-09-27T07:48:00.000-04:002007-09-27T07:48:00.000-04:00Thank you for the heads up, Maggie.I am such a ske...Thank you for the heads up, Maggie.<BR/><BR/>I am such a skeptic of Konop and his overblown media machine that is just picking up more and more steam every day, that what you are saying fits right in to his scheme.<BR/><BR/>I routinely follow Konop in the news and post when I find something particularly egregious in his behavior.<BR/><BR/>I would appreciate your insight when I get it wrong or just lack knowledge of the story behind the story.<BR/><BR/>I think you and I see eye-to-eye when it comes to little Ben.Chili Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10869147860242363971noreply@blogger.com
