Among the eight formal applicants to this "ethics code review" are Dave Burow and Thalia Lubin. Dave is the former mayor who filed the ethics complaint against Nancy Reyering and he is currently on the Town's Audit Committee. Thalia Lubin is currently on the ASRB. While the formation of the committee is now being postponed due to the "recommendation of legal counsel," the Town Council should rethink the composition and should exclude applicants currently serving on a Town Committee or Board. It also surely should exclude Dave Burow since he is not a disinterested party having filed the ethics complaint that led to the necessity for the formation of an "ethics review" committee.

The Town Council might want to consider its actions or decisions more carefully - Woodside is a small town but its affairs can and and should be managed in a more competent and professional manner. This is not the Town of Mayberry (which actually might have been run better). Woodside voters take heed and urge qualified, intelligent, ethical and pragmatic people in Town to run for Town Council in the future. If not, be prepared to live with the lot we have now.
