Open Meeting Violation!

City Council Members are prohibited from meeting with a Quorum of Council Members.  If they meet that's a violation of the Open Meetings Act.  The attached video shows three council members, Jim Shelton, James McFall and Gerd Jocobi along with the Mayor walking to and entering the old WEDC trailer behind city hall shortly before a scheduled meeting. James McFall was voted off council Place 4 shortly after this video and now has returned as a candidate for Place 2.

  Windcrest Citizens voted James McFall off council last November, now it's time for Windcrest Citizens to vote Jim Shelton and Gerd "Jake" Jacobi off City Council as well.  Citizens should not vote James McFall back onto Council.  These guys have lost their Moral Compass as they have no qualms about violating the Open Meetings Act.

  There are three candidates running for Council this November.  Pamela Dodson is running for Re-Election to Place 3, newcomer Joan Pedrotti is running for Place 2 and Frank Archuleta is runing for Place 1.
  Pamela Dodson has demonstrated on many occasions during her tenure on City Council that her Moral Compass is in Tact.
 
  Joan Pedrotti has demonstrated during her pre-retirement employment that her Moral Compass is in Tact

  Frank Archuleta, Lt. Colonel Retired, US Army demonstrated a fine Moral Compass throughout his military career.

  Vote for: Frank Archuleta, Place 1
                 Joan Pedrotti, Place 2
                   Pamela Dodson, Place 3

           

Restore Windcrest Integrity!

 Vote to Elect Frank Archuleta, Joan Pedrotti to Windcrest City Council and Re-Elect Pam Dodson to City Council to bring Integrity back to City Council.  It's time to change the leadership at Windcrest City Hall!.
Windcrest residents voted out half of the City Council last election, now it's time for the other two to move on.  Jim Shelton and Jake Jacobi should be replaced, so get out and Vote.  These two sitting Council Persons always vote as if on remote control.  They often have meetings in the trailer before council sessions to align their votes with the Mayor's wishes.
  When the Mayor was accused of  "Cursing Out"  the Fire Chief, these two voted 'Not Guilty'.  These two approved of Cursing out employees and proudly voted Not Guilty.
  Next Jim Shelton and Jake Jacobi blasted a council person for not saying the Pledge like they do. Forget one's Rights,  they just Trampled over those rights because there is no one to stop them. Your Vote will stop them, so get out and Vote.
    Those that served our nation, served to protect the 1st amendment rights, now these two want to ignore those rights because they think they are better than everyone else.  
  Vote Frank Archuleta for Place 1, Joan Pedrotti for Place 2 and Re-Elect Pam Dodson for Place 3 and get Windcrest back to normal.  It's time for to a Change in Leadership!  Vote to restore Integrity back in Windcrest City Council!

So Move,Mmmmmmm!

  You have to watch the Windcrest Economic Development Corporation Board Meeting from July 7th.  The Master of Ceremonies was none other than the Attorney. Seems the Board President was in attendance elsewhere.  The acting Board President was out of her depth.  Had no clue what to do or how to.  Now mine you, she has been on the board for over 1 1/2 years, well to be fair, the chair was occupied.  The entire meeting was orchestrated by the attorney with an occasional "So Move" muttered for the lack of knowing what the heck he just said..
  Seems the Hotel lawyers have added more to their original request.  Their original request was present a few meetings back and hence approved by the City Council.  Now it seems their lawyers want a small change.  The WEDC got into serious trouble a few years ago from small changes made after the original agreement was accepted.  The attorney stated, "These changes will better protect the WEDC and the City."  Are You So MMMMMoved?

Do Not Vote for Poster Boy

 James McFall is running for re-election on the Windcrest City Council.  This week a sharp senior citizen wrote a Letter to the Editor suggesting people Vote for Honesty in Windcrest.  In her article she says the current city council and mayor have difficulty following the City Charter.  She indicated that Four members (McFall included) do not contribute opinions or new ideas to the agenda or during meetings.  She says Life-Sized Posters would be just as effective.

 I have to agree.  James McFall and John Gretz, are both running for re-election.  They contribute very little if anything to public council meetings.  However, without discussion they always vote affirmative to any motion made by the "Team."  Most anything the lone woman, Pam Dodson. suggests gets shot down immediately, tabled or just plan dismissed.  The ladies idea of Life-Sized Poster being just as effective is very accurate.

 This suggests they have other meetings before the public meeting to form their game plan.  The mayor often refers to "Team Windcrest," as if he is the quarterback calling the plays.  This writer believes he does ALL the play calling.  And if you don't fall inline, well, you only need to listen to him cuss out the ex Fire Chief.

  You can hear the uncut version which has been on uTube for some time.  Click Here   Some say this is old news, but it's the mayor's character that reflects how he runs Team Windcrest.

Get out and Vote:
  Kim Wright for Place 4
  Matt Vandenberg Place 5
 Frank Archuleta, Mayor  the NEW- GM- Manager to promote Team Windcrest.

 One word on taxes.  Check your tax bill, your Windcrest Taxes have NOT been lowered.  This council lowered the tax RATE, but being property increased in value your Taxes actually went UP.

 Why the constant barrage of "this council lowered your taxes?"  Lies and Half Truths.

Listen before you Vote!

 I was surprised recently to learn that some residents don't follow the local news all that closely.  I read where a resident was informed that council meetings were on video that she could watch.  The reply was, "you mean the meetings are online?"
  So some may think this is old news, but being it's election time and early voting has began I figured this might reach those that missed it the first time around.  Mayor Baxter apologized for the language, but never mentions the threats being made and the half truths he stated in the audio.
  Besides, the first time around the audio was so full of "Bleeps" it was hard to follow the conversation.  Well, this is a link to the uncut, unedited recording.  I must warn you, the language is foul.
   This the Mayor of Windcrest speaking to an employee.  Mayor Baxter curses and threatens the Fire Chief if his wished are not followed.

 One sentence laced with *@#*1 would be bad enough, but Mayor Baxter carries on for 10 full minutes.  His vocabulary is evidently somewhat limited.

  Listen to this Uncut, Unedited recording  Click Here for Audio   then go Vote.

Note, those two council members running for re-election saw absolutely NOTHING wrong with the tone, message, or language in the audio.  Even their 3 candidate black/white sign reflects a dark side to many.
