Our friends over at the ABV Army Times have come up with a list of the local best and worst of 2005. Probably the funniest entry is ABV's identification of the spring elections of 2005 as the best AND worst display of local democracy. We learned last night that the most expensive Common Council in the history Oshkosh has members on it who have no problem bending rules when it comes to waiving bathroom bids, but when it comes to placing a controversial question on the April ballot (an act requiring 4 votes and no bending of rules) then rules need to be invented and interpreted in the most technical and narrow way possible. Can't wait to see the 6 councilors so upset with rule bending to call for accountability on the illegal bid waiving.
It's also hard to see how anyone could argue with ABV's selection of PMI to run the amphitheatre as the worst local decision of 2005.
