This is an open forum for those wishing to discuss the village debate held on March 11, 2009.
I would just add that when the Mayor loses his temper, it is because he lacks confidence and a reasonable argument for the people who challenge or complain to him or to the village board. If Mr. Schmidt had a clear understanding of the issues, a vision for the future and the capacity to defend his positions, he would not need to behave as he did during the debate and has at board meetings and work sessions.
The Republicans once again demonstrated that they don’t have any ideas at all. But they are sure proud of the improvements at ShopRite. This is our Mayor?
“I lost my temper, I’m only human” and it could happen again!
That is not OK Mayor Schmidt. I would hope that you would recognize that a bad temper is a problem and not make a joke about your intimidating ways.
What about saying I have a temper problem and am going to anger management classes and hope to be able to control myself in the future.
