When leadership vacancies occur, are you given a) the applicants’ names, b) copies of what they submitted, and c) the finalists’ names? What opportunity are you given to comment on the applicants?

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Where is the transparency? Where is the respect? In less than six months, the Helena City Commission has been able to weaken Helena’s city departments, processes and strategic partnerships, resulting in a culture of distrust by hiring their handpicked city manager to implement their agendas and clean house. We are retired city employees who care about current employees and community groups that we had the honor of serving with in a productive and respectful environment. We retired before the new city manager was hired, and while it may appear we have an “ax to grind,” we simply care about the future of this city and staff. This letter strives to raise awareness and encourage Helena citizens to get involved and stay engaged. The 2019 City Commission election filing deadline is Monday. There are plenty of facts and documentation to support these concerns. However, for the protection of staff, details will not be disclosed in this format. Where is the community conversation? There appears to be a lack of public process and participation related to recent recommendations and decisions. City advisory boards are “informed” of decisions rather than consulted in a collaborative effort, and their recommendations are ignored. Longstanding and effective partnerships are dismissed and dismantled while priority is given to the rhetoric of entitled special interest groups and disgruntled individuals without any regard to the greater community benefit and other legitimate user groups. Research and you will find that decisions are made outside the framework of city ordinance and that contracts are being awarded without following a competitive process. We are concerned there is a total disregard for city code and legal processes. Is this transparency?)

AMERICAN FREE PRESS
— Internet Free Speech All But Dead – Philip Giraldi
http://americanfreepress.net/internet-free-speech-all-but-dead/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Social networking sites have voluntarily employed technical fixes that restrict some content and have also hired “reviewers” who look for objectionable material and remove it. Pending European legislation, meanwhile, might require Internet search engines to eliminate access to many unacceptable old posts. YouTube has already been engaged in deleting existing old material and is working with biased “partners” like the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) to set up guidelines to restrict future content. Many users of Facebook will have already undoubtedly noted that some contacts have been blocked temporarily (or even permanently) and denied access to the site. Google now automatically disables or limits searches for material that it deems to be undesirable. If Google does not approve of something it will either not appear in search results or it will be very low on the list. And what does come up will likely favor content that derives from those who pay Google to promote their products or services. Information that originates with competitors will either be very low in the search results or even blocked. Google is consequently hardly an unbiased source of information.)

— Local Officials Mull Marijuana Legalization Impacts – Tom Robb (DIERSEN: Who is taking the lead to stop the sale of pot a) in your municipality and b) in the unincorporated areas of your county? All of the following should be lining up to speak out against pot at public hearings: Republican activists, Republican candidates, Republican elected officials, Republican party leaders, Republican major donors, Republican political consultants, business leaders, religious leaders, healthcare leaders, education leaders, law enforcement leaders, etc.)
https://www.journal-topics.com/articles/local-officials-mull-marijuana-legalization-impacts/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Local municipal staffers and attorneys are scrambling to read and understand the 600-page bill legalizing recreational marijuana before its Jan. 1, 2020 effective date. The bill that passed in the Illinois House on the last day of the legislative session in Springfield, Friday, May 31, was passed by the Illinois Senate just two days before. Gov. J.B. Pritzker is expected to sign the bill, but marijuana remains illegal at the federal level. The bill gives some control to local municipalities, including creating zoning regulations and limiting dispensary options for operating, along with allowing for some new tax revenue for local communities. “First we have to read the law thoroughly,” Glenview Village President Jim Patterson said. “You can have one sentence (buried in the bill) throw it all away.” Patterson said he fully expects village trustees to consider and act on the bill by October, before it takes effect. Niles Village Manager Steve Vinezeano said a Tuesday, June 11 village board meeting has been scheduled for village staffers to present details about the bill to Niles trustees and discuss options. Vinezeano said 52 percent of Niles residents voted in a recent referendum in favor of the state legalizing recreational marijuana. “That doesn’t mean they want a dispensary down the block.” Vinezeano said firefighters, police, Family Services and community development officials all have concerns.)

They constantly foisted/foist negative German stereotypes on me. In my defense, I stress that they all my ancestors immigrated way back during the 1840s and 1850s, that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans during WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans during WWII, and that if he had not been 4-F, my father would have fought the Germans during WWII. If DNA information had been available back when I worked for the federal government, I would have stressed that. According to http://dna.ancestry.com, my ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland, 2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece.)

http://www.lakeconews.com/index.php/news/61455-clearlake-city-council-to-consider-applicants-for-vacant-council-seat
(FROM THE ARTICLE: During a special Thursday afternoon meeting, the Clearlake City Council will consider applicants for a vacant council seat. The council will meet at 3 p.m. Thursday, June 6, in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive. On May 9, Mayor Nick Bennett resigned as he prepared to move to South Dakota, as Lake County News has reported. At a May 13 special meeting, the council directed City Clerk Melissa Swanson to advertise the vacancy for appointment and accept applications with a June 4 deadline. The city has received six applications for the seat, which has a term ending in November 2020. Applicants are Cristina Azanza, the founder of a nonprofit, Azanza Inc.; David Claffey, a marketing and communications professional who serves on the city’s marketing committee; Desserrie Shaw, who has experience as a board member and president of the Konocti County Water District; Erin McCarrick, who owns cannabis companies Clearlake Ventures and Cara Farms and a consulting business, Madrone Strategies; Russell Perdock, the city’s former mayor who resigned last year to pursue the police chief’s job and now is director of community integration for Adventist Health Clear Lake; and Pattie Duke, a registered nurse case manager. Swanson’s report to the council said staff is recommending that the council interview the six applicants at Thursday’s meeting. The candidate they pick will be approved for the appointment by motion, majority vote and resolution. The appointee would then be given the oath and seated at the June 13 meeting, Swanson said.)

https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbescoachescouncil/2019/06/06/six-tips-to-overcome-age-discrimination-at-work/#6df609b7390e
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Age discrimination may be against the U.S. labor laws, but I’ll bet you or someone you know has been on the wrong side of this form of discrimination in the workplace. In fact, nearly two out of three workers aged 45 and older have seen or experienced age discrimination on the job, according to an AARP workplace survey. So let’s face it: It’s real, and you need to know how to deal with it. As a career coach, I know firsthand that many professionals feel one of their greatest career challenges after age 40 is age discrimination. To help overcome this obstacle, I’ve developed several tips that have helped people of a certain vintage successfully navigate the job market.)
