Editorials from The Roanoke Times -Roanoke's schizophrenic council

Editorials from The Roanoke Times -Roanoke's schizophrenic council: "Then Mr. Hyde put in an appearance at the council meeting.

On a 6-1 vote, its members said mob rule sometimes is preferable to representative democracy. Roanoke will ask the General Assembly for permission to hold advisory referendums if 5,000 registered voters sign a petition or if a council majority wants political cover on a tough decision.

Only Brenda McDaniel voted against the proposal because she has the good sense to think elected officials should do their jobs. It is too bad she is not running for re-election in May."

Im sorry, but RoanokeTimes - enough allready. You are displaying your distate for the public far too readily these days.

I kindly ask you to shut your mouth on such things. Very kindly.
