Ok then, the premise was good and idealistic. The Board was formed last July and since then not one thing of which I am aware has been accomplished. They don’t even have By-Laws yet, 11 months later. Perhaps this could have been a worthwhile Board but we will never know. Any Board is as good as its leadership--the Chair.
What has happened through the course of this year is a mystery until the last several months when
These attacks are highly unethical; they are highly inappropriate for a member of the Community Relations Board, especially its Chair. This Board should be working with people to solve their problems, not against them. Political opinions of Board members need to be held in check.
Commissioner Jennings is the one commissioner who has fought for the rights of the people and has championed their causes. She supports improving the plight of the poor and the immigrant under human rights. I may not support illegal immigration. I am, however, not a member of a City Board. The
Chair Parrilla should apologize to Commissioner Jennings. He doesn’t have to apologize to me but as a citizen here, he needs and must understand that interjecting his personal opinion as a member of this Board is just divisive, unprofessional, unethical and highly inappropriate and opposite of why this Board was formed. An apology to the residents of this City is in order. His attitude is detrimental to all that this Board could achieve. The very fact that Ms. Blockson, a member of the CRB, is running against the very commissioner he is attacking, only hurts Ms. Blockson in the democratic process of fair elections.
Parrilla should step down now.
9.1.2.3>Each Member shall be dedicated to the highest ideals of honor and integrity in all public and personal relationships and shall conduct themselves in a manner which maintains and promotes public confidence in city government.
Is this a parody, satire or an attack?
ReplyDeleteTake your pick, Wes. You left out the obvious answer--THE TRUTH. It was Mr. Parrilla who was in attack mode over the last few months. Getting lessons from you?
ReplyDelete'atta girl, lynn!
ReplyDeletethis art is brilliant! the art and the post are spot on.
go get 'em tiger!
Regarding Mr. Parrilla's latest personal attack on Blackman's site, this is just another proof positive that this guy has no leadership qualities for ANY Board, especially Community Relations. He really needs a lesson in humility. On a personal note to Parrilla, yes, this Blog is ALL my opinion and I will not allow you to come over here to attack this writer. What would really be smart of Mr. Parrilla would be a personal meeting to apologize...you know, some actual community relations.
ReplyDeleteMark Parrilla: He's nice enough not to be associated with a nasty remark but not nice enough not to make it.Lacking the courage of one's nastiness does not make one nice.
ReplyDeleteWes: Never ascribe to malice ,that which can be explained by incompetence
Not my quotes, but perfect for the above.
