How fortunate for his district to get their vote on the council back… temporarily. If all of the councilpeople could participate by cellphone, Internet, Twitter, etc., then why even hold a physical council meeting? They could all go to Iraq and serve as mercen- um, soldiers of for- um, contractors then. How ridiculois this was to even be allowed to happen.

A significant part of business is done via teleconference, both audio and video. A person would have to be seriously deluded and/or partisan to think participation in a council meeting can’t be done successfully while not physically present. As the article mentioned, he is barred from voting in most cases, not all. Perhaps if some of Mr. Wynn’s disgruntled constituents, assuming there are any, if they commented on how his physical absence were problematic to their interests, then that would be something worthwhile to read. It’s really rather worthless spouting just to promote anti-military bias, a lack of understanding of the need for the Iraqi people to learn how to transport materials under threatening circumstances, or to show off one’s Luddite shortcomings.

Sorry Roy. I’m a disabled veteran. This not anti-military. I have been to Iraq, its not about transporting things, they have been moving things for three centuries in Persia. Its about disclosure. Mr Wynn did not tell the voters he would leaving soon after the election. To be approved to be a contractor take days, to get the visas and clearances takes months. He know before the election and did not disclose it. Thats the problem

Wynn was elected in November, contacted by Dyncorp two weeks later, and took the oath of office the week after that. Every other county council member is sworn in on Jan 1, but for some reason Wynn was sworn in early.
Almost immediately after being sworn in, he’s on a plane to Iraq and sends out a message that he will not be at a meeting for a year while he works for a mercenary contractor and his income is taxfree. Do you think he knew anything about his new job when he took the oath of office? Seems like he’d have to had known that he would be leaving and would not attend his first meeting of the job he swore to fulfill until June 21th 7 months later.Hmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!
