Certainly a letter to the ed -might be published--but will Barrett respond to a letter demanding that he resign---doubful---This is January there have been two meetings and a few committee meetings---JBIII has already said he doesn't have much time available---I don't buy it I think it was a lousy explanation---however maybe he will decide at some point that it is not worth his time-and step down----but one month into the term is way too soon----all the DA supporters have been saying - give the DA some time---well maybe JBIII should be given some time-----yes yes I know preferably at Cedar Junction---take a wait see approach--he hasn't done any damage yet has he?? or is it just the idea that he got elected?
Personally, I think that Council President Bloom made a huge mistake by not appointing Councilor Barrett to any committees. Bloom has certainly set a precedent for any future councilor, who may decide that he 'doesn't have the time', or doesn't want to put in the extra effort to serve on a committee. If the former mayor didn't want to show up at meetings of the committees that Bloom may have appointed him too, then it falls on the freshman councilor, not on a lack of appointments from the chair.

I agree to the point that Barrett should have been appointed to the Fincom---he would only be one vote and even if he could get -let's say Marden to go with him that's a total of two votes----a committee recommendation is not binding on the full Council---PLUS DA and Bloom violated a long standing principle-- sometimes attricuted to Sun Tsu-- maybe Machiavelli--and certainly Vito Don Corleone--------keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer

Does he spend his whole life belittling people? Is it because he needs to feel better about his sad life or does he get joy out of being a bully?

Cil you are right. Very good. Ever notice how only good and decent people die from cancer. Just an observation
Only good decent people die from cancer, really? Didn't Ruberto's wife Ellen die from cancer? Well maybe she died from something else and Ruberto just said she died from cancer so he could parade her out there to get the sympathy vote for his last term. Ellen was married to an officially unethical dirty rotten irrational dysfuctional hostile threatening baboons ass of a mayor which is enough to make anyone sick, so maybe.
