In a previous blog, the CTLAC was asked a few questions and they have yet to answer them.

One blogger, Clueless, told us about how he/she was mislead by the CTLAC to sign a petition, and another blogger, stan24, had some issues with the CTLAC's tactics also.  Here is the recap of stan24's post:  "The problem that Clueless had with your group is that, in order to get him to sign a petition, your group told him the current salary figure (for county commissioners) was in the 80,000s (so you included benefits for that number) and your group then went on to tell him that the new figure if your petition passed would be 37,000 (so you didn't include benefits for that number).  Durwood, speaking on behalf of your group, mislead Clueless to try to get him to sign the petition.  The problem that I had with what your group told Clueless is that you failed to tell Clueless that the voters had already voted to lower the salaries.  So if Durwood was telling the whole story to Clueless, he would have let Clueless know that the petition would lower salaries from 40-45,000 to 37,000, not 80,000 to 37,000.  That's wrong to mislead people like that.  Instead of being so defensive, just admit to clueless that you guys screwed up on that one and move on. "

No response from CTLAC. 

The CTLAC says on their website that they want to give "people, not politicians, the final word."  I asked the CTLAC why they don't trust and respect the vote of the people in the 2006 election?  Why are they trying to undo what the voters did in 2006?  No response.  

A blogger asked the CTLAC "who is in the group, where they meet, when they meet, how they decide what to do, who decides it, do they do research, what research, do they talk to experts before deciding to overhaul our whole system of local government, who is the expert, can the expert be trusted or is he/she from the DeVry Institute.  Is Durwood like some Grand Chief who listens to the other 2 or 3 and decrees what happens, or does everyone get a vote?  How do you get the right to vote in the group?  Do you work your way up in the group through some kind of points system?  Do you earn points in the group by stalking a certain number of people in the walmart parking lot?"

No response from CTLAC.

Clueless asked the CTLAC about the time and place of their next meeting.  We will let you know when we have a "public meeting" was the response.  So there are private meetings?  When was the last time you had a "public meeting"?  Did you have a "public meeting" before deciding to put something on the ballot in 2008?

Today, the people have the right to elect their chairman.  The CTLAC is getting signatures to take away that right and give it to the politicians on the BCC.  They want the BCC to elect the chairman, not the people.  What happened to giving "people, not politicians, the final word"?

No response from CTLAC.

These questions and issues are legit.  I hope the public hears from the CTLAC about these questions and issues.
