Metro Council Goals and Objectives

5.1

Metro's culture is creative, flexible, entreprenurial, incorportates fresh ideas, and supports reasonable risk to successfully respond to a dynamic and changing environment.

Okay.  If they say so.  Let's back up a bit:  is there such a thing as a static and changing environment?  Or a dynamic yet unchanging environment?

You're paying these folks a boatload of money, and they come up with this junk as part of the "work" that they're tirelessly performing on your behalf?

Time for a show of hands:  is there anybody - other than the Metro council - who believes that Metro has demonstrated any of the following: creativity, flexibility, an entreprenurial (business-friendly) perspective?  Second show: anybody who believes that Metro has "responded successfully" to anything?

Anybody?  Hello?

Okay, third show:  anybody believe that Metro is just another money-grubbing, money-wasting , unneeded extra layer of government?

Oh, and fourth show:  anybody believe that Metro has any "culture" other than porking out at the trough?

Actually, anybody that voted "yes" on the fourth item is absolutely correct - Metro does have a culture.  And it's far more toxic than botulism.  It's time to sterilize the large Petri dish in which it continues to grow.
