Occupy the Chamber of Commerce meetings; they are the reason we get such low caliber candidates. They have been putting on and fixing political forums for years. They plant questions and are in charge of what is asked. Just to get their pro business candidates elected.

They asked should the corporate vote be reinstated. 3 of the 4 elected councilors thought so.

Our citizen group had a list of 165 questions we had hoped the candidates would pick from the hat. That didn't happen. 3 known in advance questions were answered 13 times. Occupy these creeps too.

Disgraceful!

At least, in comparison, some shreds of respect for the movement remain, while here we only get served little more than what amounts to self serving disdain and cynicism.

Compare and contrast with the two articles at CD today:

They're much more likely to ally with the Green Party, if they participate in electoral politics at all.
