“It may seem like a lot of money,” she said. “But if the council doesn’t function, the city doesn’t function.”

Hello, Ms. Bennett. This is Moonbat City, OR. It hasn't functioned for years.

Rick Kirschner, an Ashland naturopath who has written several books about the art of persuasion and human relationships, will meet with the council later this week in the first of a five-month series of therapy sessions.

It will work. They'll stop fighting with each other for as long as it takes to destroy this pinhead.

Why must the poor taxpayer be the ONLY slug who gets punished for the bad behavior of others?
If these “uncivil servants” need help, they should buy it on THEIR nickel.

Wouldn’t it be cheaper and far more productive to simply fire the jerks who are incapable of conducting the city’s business in a professional manner?

Or let those two go outside and “duke” it out?

How can these folks who didn’t learn what most of us learned in kindergarten learn now?

What a joke. When the bell, book & sandal crowd moved north up I-5 from CA in the 60’s they started at the State Line and this community was one of the first contaminated. If the leaders of this town had their way there would be no normal industry in Southern Oregon…just people selling homemade crafts to each other…and a little homegrown herbs.

If these people cannot get along like adults, then they shouldn’t be in these jobs.”

Maybe I missed something; I just assumed that these councillors were ELECTED by the PEOPLE.

You know the City is dysfunctional when we can not even get fountains working; the duck pond clean and weeds have take over the sidewalks along N. Main-— not to mention the laundry list of failures/needs like hooking up to TAP. It is obviously no one is left who knows how to run a city. We have filed legal actions at every turn, exhibit no cooperation with our neighbors and waste millions on failure without the courage to correct our own mistakes. The only hope left is an election or recall!

The city has hired a counselor

Not sure who made the actual choice to hire THIS guy, but I can see the first sessions bickering over who the counselor is.

Give me a break. These people are obviously not leaders. Save the taxpayers some money and kick them out along with their phony baloney therapist.

[tubebender]

I wonder how many of these council members are newbies to Ashland and are going to right all the wrongs they created wherever they came from...
