Margie,
In all of my years dealing with the UC Review, I never had problems getting
public announcements in the paper. The deadlines and guidelines are easy to
follow. Are you sure you stand by the implicit criticism you make?
Let's pull out all of the issues 3 weeks prior to FOCP meetings since
November. That is when Tony West announced that "17 public meetings" had
informed the community that the rejected redesign of Clark park had become
"policy." I'm pretty sure that FOCP failed 100% of the time to get their
announcement of the redesign published in the UC Review Almanac. Something
is wrong here. Are you claiming that this was the fault of the paper????
The FOCP members wishes, to direct their leaders to deal openly and honestly
with the larger community, seem perfectly reasonable for citizens in a
republic. Announcing the intention to redesign the public park must show a
good faith attempt at communication with that public.
The excuses for not attempting the most basic step towards informing the
public do not work, Margie. The members had to make this demand for
openness specifically via motion to an FOCP which had previously refused to
announce meetings to their own members. Let's not forget during the first
attempt to force the UCD redesign of the park; the FOCP Board refused almost
always to announce the time, date, and location of their meetings to their
own members.
Please don't blame the newspaper.
Glenn

I will step in here to say that FOCP has submitted announcements of all
meetings to the University City Review for the Almanac section. However,
the
paper has not always printed them (and they have no obligation to do so).
The only way to ensure that the announcements of meetings would definitely
appear in the paper was to take out an ad. Thus the ad.
Margie P.
Thanks Brian. I knew if I ever made even a small mistake the unbroken
silence from your gang would end. I thought everyone is to accept your
gangs usual silence towards my assertions or questions because I'm such a
liar and crank? Please send any additional corrections of my
misinformation.
I apologize for missing the Focp "ad." and therefore not mentioning this.
However, your gang, FOCP, has been instructed by its membership since
2003
to publish all meetings and meeting agendas in the Almanac section where
local announcements are found. This was done in the aftermath of the
treachery of the FOCP/UCD during its initial attempt to seize Clark Park.
I believe you have an unbroken, 100% refusal record to do this prior to
all
of your so called "public meetings" since November when this rejected UCD
redesign was reintroduced after a 5 year gap.
Looking forward to correcting the rest of my misinformation. Banned from
FOCP discussions since 2003.
Glenn

Folks,
Don't forget the really big show tonight. Although the members have
directed the FOCP to publicly announce their meetings in the University
Review, the leaders forgot to announce tonights "community" show in the
community paper. I hope no one was shocked that FOCP leaders continue
to
have contempt for their members' wishes and the community as a whole.
And folks, _whatever you do_, do NOT look at last week's issue of the
University City Review, available for viewing at
http://www.server-jbmultimedia.net/UCReviewFlip/sitebase/index.aspx
Do NOT browse to Page Three, because it does NOT contain a large ad
about
the meeting. Absolutely not. Nuh-uh. Nope. Divert your attention to the
Page One story about Glenn's heroic stand against paying a trash fine.
