Oh the absolute gall....


I would have to fight back the urge to punch her:) I wouldn't do it obviously...but the thought would cross my mind.

What an awesome plan! No personal accountability!

People like her are the people that are in charge - because they crave the position.

Committee investigating Vancouver Councilwoman Jeanne Harris to meet Thursday (http://www.oregonlive.com/clark-county/index.ssf/2010/09/committee_investigating_vancouver_councilwoman_har ris_to_meet_thursday.html)

September 28, 2010



The committee formed to investigate Vancouver Councilwoman Jeanne Harris for a series of hostile exchange during a City Council meeting will meet for the first time on Thursday.

The committee, made up of councilmen Larry Smith, Jack Burkman and Pat Campbell, will meet at 4 p.m. in the City Council chambers in City Hall, 210 E. 13th St. The meeting is open to the public.

The committee was formed after Smith and Burkman filed a complaint alleging Harris had not treated fellow council members with dignity and respect as required by the council's code of ethics.

Wowser. I don't know whether to be impressed or shocked at the control showed by the citizen's. I doubt I would have been so respectful to that rude b**ch if she talked to me like that. In fact I'm sure I wouldn't have.

Only concerned with the dignity and respect of the fellow council....not the public I guess. I have a feeling this might become an opponent's commercial when she's up for election next time though :).

On top of sending e-mail to this witch of the west we should also send some words of support for the council woman who stood up for the citizens asking why they could not speak.

This fall on CBS, two ladies on a small town city council, and all they have in common is their name, it's the Jousting Jeannes, Mondays after How I Met Your Mother, only on CBS.

I will give that Harris cunt credit. At least she's honest with opinions of the peons.

Mayor Leavitt, get your balls out of the jar under Harris' bed and smack that bitch with the gavel.

Heres my email I just sent


I think you might want to read the constitution and fully understand your place in government as the servant of the people and not as the master of the people.

As a public servant you took an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States. Censoring a citizens free speech clearly violated this oath.

If you dont understand this then you should resign.

Videos like this make me take a moment and briefly question whether local control is always a good thing. Loons like her making real decisions that affect lives is scary.

The way they're dodging the light rail and toll topic makes me think there's some kickbacks going on there. That nasty woman obviously has something to do with it considering how she shouted down more than one person that tried to bring it up.

Are you serious?

The woman blatantly lied on the radio interview. She claimed that she walked out while the citizen was speaking because she realized she was in error and needed to calm down. YET, after the session ended she approached the other councilwoman, yelled at her and claimed SHE was the one treating people unfairly. She is a dirt bag.

And we all know what a real apology sounds like, and hers sounds nothing of the sort...http://www.columbian.com/news/2010/sep/15/harris-says-she-wasnt-informed-ethics-probe/

Someone needed to get a rules list together beforehand. She was probably in serious violation of protocol.

By the way, here is a good role model for how to approach government representatives.

Just to get nerdy here - with the meeting conducted under Robert's Rules of order... she, as a lone council member, did NOT have the authority to tell people to leave the meeting. Notice that she had to ask the chair (the mayor I presume) to gavel the speaker to order, and ask him to leave.

The councilwoman was abrasive and rude, but it's at the very least quite debatable whether or not the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution applies to state and municipal governments, and even if so, whether it applies to meeting within government buildings. I mean, if someone had come up there and starting shouting obscenities that wouldn't have been "freedom of speech." It seems to me that they do have the authority to set the rules for there own meetings, even if the rules are moronic.
