Why was Ed Briggs even at the Public Forum?

By any reasonable measure, Ed Briggs' 33 years of service
to his community, are a record of service and dedication
far beyond the call.

APS administrators who have show us far less,
have enjoyed far greater celebration.

And here is Ed Briggs, trying to talk as fast as he can,
in the 120 seconds allowed him by "forum rules",
in an effort to make sure that the rest of his team got the
recognition they deserved.

And then to have even that
meager celebration sullied
by some cheap remark about
there being some doubt in
my mind, about whether
he had earned our respect,

offered for no reason, except
as a red herring,

goes beyond the pale;

(unacceptable;
outside agreed standards
of decency.)

Board meetings are supposed to be broadcast to the
community via TalNet on the Saturday following the
meeting.

This meeting, like most that are embarrassing to the
leadership of the APS, was not, again.
