Is the Town Clerk trying to change his style for the better?

Jul 27, 2017 Letters

Dear Editor,
Kudos to Riley Matthews for his skillful grading of the Town Clerk. His was similar in some respects to that of Debra Gibson way back on August 20 2016. The question is (and one I often muse about), does this guy read any of the comments on his behaviour, attitude, manners, etc as a public person in such a responsible position? And supposing that he does, does it not appeal to his better sense to modify, mollify and/or restructure himself to become more acceptable? Obviously not and that directs us to the theme of ‘power’ and the consequential thoughts of revolt and revolution and removal! But… well …who will bell the cat?
Now in the days when this guy was the PRO of the City and the GPF and the City and the GPF (he did move back and forth like a yoyo), he would readily rise to the defence of those two organizations even if they were at fault, but now he himself is at fault, he cowers in a corner and keeps quiet. He knows full well that he is a position of power hence the plebeians can scream and shout, because his left ear is deaf and his right ear is listening only to matters of power and more power. Yep! Power corrupts.
This is where developed societies will continue to be developed societies and have their people relatively happy and satisfied. Political affiliation or not, stern advice is quickly given and remedial action taken if there is persistence in not mending ways. In a developed society both the Mayor and the TC would have been sent packing a long long time ago, without those silly comments of not wanting to interfere or direct. The people of the country are more important than the petty dictators flaunting their power.
