Growing DC's Bureaucracy....

[lurker]

On the National level we are under the direct control and influence of a descending power structure.

1. The Supreme Court (most powerful)
2. The Media
3. The Executive Branch (that's the President for those who went to public school)
4. The exceedingly more powerful Bureaucratic entities
5. The Legislative Branch (Senators & Representatives and least powerful)

So now I read in the Globe that a code has been written where Our Elected City Officials will no longer be able to exert any influence on the city bureaucracies.

If that's now true, WhoTF are we allowed to appoint to exert influence on said bureaucracies as they gain more and more control over our everyday lives within this city?

Who in the realm of our elected representatives has the balls to stand up and say: "WAITAGODDAMNMINUTE! You ARE city employees or delegates working for the citizens and they have voted for me to represent them as you accomplish your work. Therefore I will put my boot to your nek anytime I feel that it's for the benefit and with the desire of my constituents!"

More 'n likely that's what they intended, but it never turns out that way - somebody will take it to the 'n'th....then there will be trouble. What city attorney let that one get by? What a farce. Next the City Employees will vote themselves a 50-week vacation. Oops! Maybe I shoulda kept that to myself, maybe they haven't thought of it yet.

That kinda "gee howd that happen" attitude is rampant in DC - just like it is in most towns.......Ya know there's nuf dirt to spread around - we just see MOST of DC's here........Now I see a lot of stuff about the city attorney over cross the street.....didn't get into that cause didn't know any of them......as far as this goes.......it's already happened......news flash was just to let ya know - they never ask anyone anyhow. They run everyone off from the council meetings cause they act like such fools then when the crowd is low they do this kinda stuff.......happens everywhere - DC aint so special.....
