Consider it stuffed.

The definition of a hypocrite? See Clark Billings.
The definition of bigot? See Clark Billings.
The definition of blowhard? See Clark Billings.
The definition of a used up, drunken has-been desperately seeking attention? Well, you get it...

Well I guess you just couldn;t stuff it could you---escepi for the drinking issue--you fit all of criteria--- toooo bad-chbpod

Nice work on the review. It all means so much more in the montaged digest version.

I think Billings should tape a show from his house in RI - thaT would be worth fifteen hundred clams. Maybe just, you know, read his posts out loud and stroke his chin and push his glasses up from time to time. Just for Old Times' sake.

I'd watch it.

Wow....this is my first evening on this forum....what entertainment!!!

Pass the popcorn please....

So happy to oblige.

I'm an addict of local politics, happy to meet you.

Isn't it fun?!

Mr. no-show billings, you forgot several things in your post- still getting city council salary-yes
still doing city council job -no
still have time to insult voters with rantings on transcipt-yes

chbpod wrote:

RI drivers license--No
Switched plates--no
Primary residence as per mortgage in RI-- yes
anything else???---oh yes
still a registered voter in NA--- yes
still a City Councilor---yes
I've posted this several times-I cannot be removed from office-- and-there is only one way to get me to resign-----and you all have failed to figure that out---too bad--- chbpod

I wonder what would happen if Al Marden asked you to resign.

Did Clark ever work for the city in a retirement-eligible position? And if so, now that he is retired, is he collecting, or will he be collecting a pension? And if so, does that give him a conflict of interest in serving on the Council?

How about City Council which all are eligible for a pension.

I wonder what would happen if your boss asked you not to run as it may hurt business.

Ask him. Michael Faber - General Manager, Wild Oats Community Market -(topix won't let me type in a phone number, so I have to spell it.) four five eight - eight zero six zero.

It's these kind of petty psuedo-threats that make people leery of the status quo. That is what is bad for business.

What? My point was that your question is as stupid as mine. I know you find this hard to believe but people can think for themselves around here and they are independent thinkers. Billings does not listen to anyone.

Chbpod typifies what's wrong with politics. Some people laugh at his antics, others are afraid of him -- but do people really respect him? It's easy to fool people -- blame everything on the liberal elite and their crazy ideas about the arts or whatever, but what are his ideas -- and what has he implemented?

a lot of controversy--think aboud it----plus there's always the "bug" chbpod

You get an A (not an Aplus) but you are darn close----I figured you would figure it out before all of the other bozos----time is not definate---but I will resign before the end of my term--my intent was to avoid a nasty floor fight over my replacement that could have Mayoral fractionalization-------I am still working on timing-----now if the Council wants a floor fight- so be it-- my initial indication from both sides was no---of course upon the President declaring a vacancy Council rules of procedure kick in-- BUT if the Council votes to suspend the rules---aha a different scenario------at the latest I would resign effective November 3---and then the Council could- under suspension of the rules elect the challener with the most votes---that's one option under consideration---but Greg boy pretty much figured it out----no one had ever ASKED me------chbpod
