"Whitehead said there is no question a review must take place. He believes the review should be completed in time for changes to be made for the 2018 election.
But Pasuta doesn’t agree a boundary review is needed.
“I don’t and I never have. They (Duvall and Whitehead) just need another assistant to help out,” he said.
And Pasuta said the possibility of another Mountain representative upsetting the current council’s working relationship is a valid concern.
“Everything seems to be fine. We don’t see it as being broken,” he said."
Earth to Councillor Pasuta: This has absolutely nothing to do with how well Council does or doesn't currently get along. Nor does it have to do with 'getting the job done' (additional staffing), but rather a fundamental inequity that under the OMB guidelines, its addressing is long overdue. The sad thing is that I believe he's well aware of this truth...but is basically executing low-level grandstanding for his constituents. You know, 'Fight the big, bad city-folk.' Um... Aren't we supposed to be beyond all that...?
