Add them all up, its 65 if you count August 31st. 64 if I made a bad assumption.
47 (Or 48?) business days.
17 weekend days.
No matter how you add it up, its not 10, 15 or 18.
That doesn't count any holidays, unless you count Halloween.
He can't be doing that much business for the League of Municipalities.
And since he says:
"In this age with cell phones and email, I'm always accessible. I conduct aldermanic work no matter where I'm at."I emailed him the information yesterday afternoon at three different emails and asked him to explain. Haven't heard back yet.
I researched the committee info and I listed them in my previous post. If you'd like, I can provide the dates and links to the minutes.
It's so bad, the council rookies made a song (see page 4) about it for the holiday party.
Unless the council office provided inaccurate information, he was scheduled out of town at least 64 days since July 1. I stand by my word. And I'd love to see facts from Schumacher proving me wrong. Or an apology.
Did Schumacher... forget... about open records requests... or what??? I seem to recall him being caught in a lie before, too. Maybe I am misremembering, though.
ReplyDeleteOk Brenda, it's time to drop the bomb.
ReplyDeleteWhat is Shumacher doing when he leaves town?
It is unfortunate that his pants are on fire. He always has such nice pants.
ReplyDeleteAnd your point is...? That he's a bad Alder? A bad man? Has a gambling problem? A Tiger problem? That he secretly played on the UNLV football team this fall?
ReplyDeleteSeriously, Brenda, your insatiable need to tear people down is pathetic.
Hey - I'd have let it go, I made my point and moved on. Then he attacked me, publicly and essentially called me a liar. I'm just defending myself and showing people I have facts to back it up - I put up with alot of personal attacks that I let go unanswered, but I really don't like it when people attack my integrity. I'd like an apology from him.
ReplyDeleteIt's ok for you to attack him but not him attack you? Get a life.
ReplyDeleteAn elected official being out of the city that much is a big freaking deal. It's hard to do your job when you're not here, participating and representing your district. And he shouldn't be on all those committees if he's not going to attend and in some cases blow quorum. An elected official should be held accountable.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, don't let people posting behind an Anonymous alias tell you what you can and can't do. Thanks for the post, it was eye-opening.
ReplyDeleteNot sure how Ald. Schumacher can effectively represent his district when he's absent this much. Whose best interest does he have in mind?
ReplyDeleteAlso love the caption under his photo in the Isthmus article: 'No wonder Ms. Konkel is no longer an alder.'
That's not a cheap shot, right? :)
