Ashamed of Mayor McAnally

[Ashamed]

I am posting this here because I know Mr. McAnally knows exactly what goes on here. I do not live in the city limits of Bloomfield therefore I have no say at the council meetings. However, I do have family that live inside city limits that I care very deeply about how they are treated and what kind of care they are receiving from the city of Bloomfield and, more importantly, how they are treated by the mayor.

Raymond,
I have witnessed a few of your meetings lately and this last meeting was embarrassing. I want you to know that it takes and awfully SMALL man to talk to Ms. Armes the way you did as well as those other ladies sitting on the back row. Would you like it if someone talked to your mother like that? You should be ashamed young man. You were totally unprofessional and because of that there was nothing accomplished at that meeting. You wasted everyone's time and the city's money if you were paying the employees that were there. You also refered to the ditch in question as "MY ditch." It's hardly YOUR ditch. It's the CITY'S ditch. It's not YOUR city. Stop referring to everything the city owns as YOURS! You have plenty of things you can use your I, I, I's and me, me, me's for such as: I am self centered, I am disrespectful, I am causing hurt to the citizens of Bloomfield, It is MY duty to talk to them not at them, It is MY duty to listen to them when they speak and not talk over them, It is MY duty to make sure the employees are not disrespectful to the citizens and if they are It is MY duty to address the situation, It is NOT MY duty to befriend city employees to the point I let them do whatever they want without repercussion. You are a mayor not a king. The citizens do not have to bow to you, you bow to them. They elected you. If it were not for them you would not be where you are today. Do you really think you got there on your own?? You need to step off of your pedestal and practice being humble and greatful that you have an opportunity to do the city some good. Instead you seem to be taking a step backward. I believe we have heard the words I AM THE MAYOR too many times from Donna. Don't you think it's time you step back and look at what your duties as mayor are instead of making your own. You better stop making all the decisions and make the council step up and make some. One wrong decision could mean a lawsuit for the city and it would be all on your shoulders, noone elses. If you don't re-evaluate the situation..... don't count on a re-election. That is if you haven't already blown it.

Family Reunion?

I personally think that all of our city people from the Mayor and the board all the way to the bus drivers are doing an excellent job. Keep up the Good work, all of you. Elected officials, You all will have my vote. People who live in town can speak for themselves...they don't need "Ashamed" to speak for them.
We have a great town here and in spite of all our problems and differences we can still be proud. Our problems will all be worked out. Why? Because WE are Bloomfield. Perseverance and persistence is what we are about. The only thing that "Ashamed" has to be ashamed of is his ignorance of that fact (by that I mean lack of knowledge and understanding).
I know that this post will probably be judged with a lot of "disagree, nuts, clueless, etc" That's OK, I'm still proud to live and raise my family here.

I wasn't at the council meeting to hear what he said, but I could imagine the words, and the way he said them. I have heard him talk to his mother that way. Heard it with my own ears, this is not hear say, but a for real fact. Also I am quite sure there are already law suits in the works, one I am sure of. Get ready mayor, you will have a chance to be on KFVS.

I live in Bloomfield & Ashamed pretty much said it the way it is. The good thing about our voting system is MY votes will cancel out your votes!

It has to be DP, he is the only one the mayor can get to suck up to him, everyone else tells him where to go.

[captain obivious]

oh but all employees have been banned from topix!!

[notamayorfan]

That mayor thinks he can ban the employees from being on topix but that's not going to work, for one thing it's not just employees on topix that dislike him it's almost the entire town. His new thing now is to have all city computers fixed so the employees cannot access topix. What a numnut.

Whats is the bad part of having the city computers fixed so they will not go to sites that do not serve any purpose other than wasting time? Not a Raymond fan but it seems that no city computer should be able to access any site on the internet other than neccessary sites that go along with city business.

Let’s see, everyone had a problem with, Mayo, Then Aslin, you tried to run Gard out on a rail, now Raymond is the problem. If you stand back and look at it, seems like we the public have issues with everyone who gets in. I was almost was talked into running and as a well respected business Professional from what I see now I'm glad I didn’t, and now think I probably never will. At some point we are going to have to suck it up and realize that some of the problem may be some of us. I am not expecting a favorable response because the truth usually is not received very well. We ought to stop the fighting when someone doesn’t give us our way and a least try to look at it from someone else view.
