Curtist the Blurtist had a plan last night. He pulled an item from the consent agenda. The city was allocating $150K for two new ambassadors for DTSF. While I think it is awesome DTSF is creating jobs, I doubt the employees are making $75K each for the summer, but as DTSF says they need money for ‘training’. LOL. Why did Curt pull the item? Because he thought this would be a great opportunity to talk about the great thing these ambassadors are doing. Well, he was wrong. While our country is going into a tailspin because of a very stupid person, constituents are NOT happy, and they certainly won’t be happy about the city spending more money on the transient issue by spending more money NOT ON THEM!
So some constituents weighed in, and it wasn’t pretty. While they were certainly not friendly in their testimonies, they weren’t wrong. After the trip to the woodshed, Curt was unhappy so he said something like, “I didn’t know we were going to get yelled at . . .” First off, Curt, that is really your main job, listening to constituent complaints, and secondly if you want to POP off at constituents during a meeting you are VIOLATING a rule MMM put in place, NO CONSTITUENT INTERACTION WHILE THEY ARE AT THE PODIUM. So Curt, if you want to change the rules, which I am ALL for, to allow councilors to interact with constituents during public input, DO IT! But until that rule change is made I suggest you such your pie hole and take it like a big kid, or better yet RESIGN. Your disdain for public engagement is getting old, like you (as you pointed out in the meeting.)
In a mayoral run-off between Curt and Heels, do you think that Curt would get 38 or more like 35% of the vote?
That Soehl pulled this item from the consent agenda for the sole purpose to brag about the work of the DTSF Ambassadors (jobs apparently created using City taxpayer funds), only to have taxpayers sieze the opportunity to voice their extreme displeasure … just underscores that he is profoundly out of touch with the average citizens.
When the Blurtist voted against the monster truck ordinance that told me everything I have already known about Curt. Elitist a-hole.
Curt likes monster trucks, and often, his political actions remind me of a ‘Grave Digger.’
