Here’s how the Ogre describes the Meck GOP’s secret selection of developer Ric Killian as a new member of the General Assembly:
In the communist system of government, the ruling class makes all the rules and decides what is best for the people. It is not a government by the people, and it is not a representative government. That is exactly what happened in this case.
Two legislators waited until AFTER the deadline to file for election. They then announced that they wanted to “retire.” Then secret meetings were held to determine their “replacements.” Since in one of the two cases, there is zero opposition in the fall, this was direct selection of legislators. NO ONE was given a chance to campaign and win votes. NO people were allowed to vote.
Go ahead, try and convince me that this is a government by the people and for the people. It was once, but it very clearly no longer is.
All of 19 votes put Killian in office to represent District 105.
