As part of Tuesday's Kissimmee City Commission meeting, our Commissioners revealed their hand-chosen panel members for the charter review committee.
Should it be a surprise that four of the seven members of the panel are former city commissioners? Steve Burke, George Gant, Linda Goodwin-Nichols, and Joe Hemphill. Apparently, in a city of 60,000 residents, we need look no further than the inner circle when the commissioners need some work done. Perhaps next time the commission could solicit some indications of interest from the general public, or at least consult the list of recent graduates from the School of Government.
As an aside, we've heard speculation that a certain local activist recently dropped off the radar while anticipating a distinguished appointment to the charter review committee. Perhaps a re-emergence from the shadows will occur in the near future.

I saw that meeting and I could not believe when Commissioner Irizarry suggested Steve Burke for the panel. At least now we can see that Commissioner Irizarry is 100% in the Ax The Tax cult. Just give Doug Guetzloe the keys to the city why don't you. And what is really crazy is that Commissioner Irizarry ran again this guy.
Looks like Wayne posted his Gemskie bashing on your last entry. Maybe your word of the day should be obsession. Not that I don't like good Gemskie bashing because we all know he deserves it, it just seems to me like there is plenty of bashing that can go around on that commission. Wayne could only talk about what Burke wanted anyway, so I guess this charter review committee is going to be a real comedy routine.
i missed something. 1. "wayne" made a comment on jemsky? where? 2. at least 2 need agitation weekly. van meter and jemsky. maybe swan also.
