Council/city Manager form of government

[shadows]

Soon 20 years will pass since again the voters will be programmed for a government change.  

I thought that Charley was the city manager.

Taylor is the queen bee who chose her pet agendas for Charley. (She points to Charles and says that is what you want which would be the same as by name of city manager.)

I think that among the citizens that submit to authority there could be someone not too stupid to be a city manager. (Instead maybe we should look to Germany to find a city leader)

Seems that big brother said electing councilors city wide eliminated the voice of the minority.  (The minority in Tulsa is increasing to where estimated in the 2040's or before they will be in the majority)

Once under the mayor/city manager the mayor's duties was to kiss the babies.   (Now I can't see who kisses who but I see a lot of a$$ kissing going on.)

We have tried to change to a Metro government. (But the constitution of Oklahoma had to be changed so that was shot down.)

The sales pitch for the change from the commission/mayor was it would save money, thus reduce taxes. (Like buying real-estate behind the dikes in New Orleans)

Yes, I am one on those who made an attempt to require the change of city government be clarified on the ballot. (It was compared to a school consolidation election in 1924 by the court)

Happy landings on the change of city government and be sure you wear two pair of pants as it protects your seat when you are thrown out of court.

I am for a government of the people but as history records all the attempts to let the people govern themselves have failed.  Such governments regardless of all efforts, become as the Ghostly Galleon tossed on a cloudy sea.  The generations of the past, once they have gained controlled, to unseat them is an impossible task.

For a city manager type of government in Tulsa it would require the importing of a independent person.  Who would select such a person?  

Singapore is rated as the most intelligent, holding the number one spot.  The language of China is spoken by 24% the occupants of the planet.  Maybe we should look to them to hire a city manager.  

We have started three wars to enforce our type of government on other nations.   Two have been failures and we are in a struggle to install an exiled government at cost of more lives today.

Past history points to the monarch type of government, with sole powers to be managers whether city or country.

Athens and Rome both tried to govern themselves and they failed.  Can we correct their failures or is it better to hire a intelligent person to govern  us?    Who do you think should choose such person?
