Springfield City Councilor Jimmy Ferrera has surely annoyed several people in the city with his arrogant refusal to schedule a hearing on the ethics proposal submitted by City Councilors Pat Markey and Bruce Stebbings. The Republican has not been shy in stating its annoyance with Ferrara on its editorial pages. Fellow Blogger Bill Dusty of the Springfield Intruder had a commical, yet critical post on Ferrera's arrogance.
I simply do not understand why Councilor Ferrera refuses to schedule a hearing on the Ethic proposal. As I have mentioned before, government must be transparent. After all, it is our government, not Ferrera's government. If Ferrera does not understand this simple concept, then he has no business in city government.
The ethics proposal submitted by Markey and Stebbings is a sensible and good thought out plan in an effort to regain the trust of the people of Springfield. I am sure that Ferrera and the councilors that voted against the proposal are hoping that the voters will forget about this issue.
Well, I want a good and transparent government. Springfield can not afford another financial crisis.
I will not forget.

I agree with Councilor Ferrara this is nothing more than a witchhunt by and future Ryannites wannabe Mayors like Markey,Stebbins,Syngnator, and the rest of the Forest Park Mob who want to still stong arm the city with their dilussional horse and buggy tactics. It's 2008. wake up ! IT's an Obama time, not Ryan,Seelig,Mckelwaine. It's a new Era wake up and cooperate or you will die miserable in a modern world. Your money left behind will be spent easily, quicker than you earned it. Believe me you miserable fools , GET OVER IT!
