The Learning Curve

Heard about the maybe illegal meeting a few of the newest Monroe City Council members had. It seems they strayed into the conference room next to the council meeting room and SHUT THE DOOR! Supposedly they were talking about how to go about naming a substitute mayor in the absence of the new (old) mayor Al Cappuccilli. Ironically, these were some of the same people who complained most bitterly about the lack of proper meeting procedures when they were on the outside looking in before they got elected. Does that mean they're ignorant, stupid, conspiratorial, clumsy or just slow learners? Time will tell. It's funny that it doesn't really seem to matter who's in office -- there's always a tendency to freeze out, shut up or ignore the taxpayers. How do we fix this?
