I don't tape the council meetings so I can keep track of who said what.  I tape them because my schedule does not allow for me to watch the first hour or so.  I am SO glad I have taped the past few meetings purely for reference purposes. For the past month or so (and previous meetings as well) Fay has not approached that podium without a chip on her shoulder.  She walks into council chambers looking to pick a fight.

Fay Franus does NOTHING without an ulterior motive - whether she has a point or not.  She loves to be the center of attention - she NEEDS to be the center of attention.  If people are not paying attention to what she is saying or doing, she will MAKE them notice her.  She will ALWAYS pick the underdog simply so she can argue and shove her opinions down our throats.  These past weeks, she has been baiting council with her tirades and ridiculous questions - and all she is saying is "LOOK AT ME" - "LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY" - 'WATCH HOW MANY BUTTONS I CAN PUSH" - and watch what happens when Judy takes the bait.  I congratulate Judy for putting up with it for as long as she did.  Sherry really shouldn't have jumped into the frey, it just played into Fay's hands and gave those asswipes across the hall at DD more ammunition against her.

It's not just at council meetings - Fay is this way in life.  If you tell her the sky is blue, she will argue the point - not because she is right, but because she LOVES TO HEAR HER OWN VOICE.  And having a forum where she can do it on television and be guaranteed five minutes of look-at-me-me-me airtime?? well, that just makes matters worse.  I have said it before - She will argue with her fellow man over something as silly as the price of a cup of coffee, but that bitch'll kiss a dog on the lips after it bites her on the ass.

And just to stay on topic, the policemen who are stationed at the council meetings are there for a reason.  If it's on their schedule to be there, then so be it - nothing you or I can do is going to change the fact that policemen are there.  While they are there, they are to do their jobs and that is to maintain decorum.  At COuncil President's request, they did not saunter up to Fay and manhandle her - they were both polite and ASKED her to step away from the podium.  It might do everyone a world of good if some of the speakers showed the Council a little more respect - you may not respect the persons, but you should definitely show more respect to the positions they hold as councilpersons.  It is as simple as that.
