I agree that while she doesn't deserve to be publicly branded or ostracized, I don't believe she should be allowed back into politics.  She has demonstrated her character quite well and shown she is not to be trusted.  No one is saying she shouldn't be able to have a successful life but she should find a way that doesn't involve public funds.

Oh come on, it's not like she kidnapped the Lindbergh baby.

How long should she stay out of local government?

Here's an idea - how about FOREVER?

Jebus, you've gotten so used to corrupt local government, now you encourage more of it. I guess life's just easier that way.

^ I agree CF,  She's paid for her crime, however, she shouldn't be allowed to be put in a position of public trust.

There are plenty of other people in the community that would be willing to get involved.  They're just never asked because they don't hang with the right crowds.  The problem is all to often the various board's in this town turn to the chamber of commerces' most active member's for a feeder system to fill some of these positions.  There are other organizations out there where you can find great people that could help with the decision making and also to help improve the reputation of this city.  I'm tired of seeing some of the same names recycled through different positions around the city, county and various other boards. imo.

After all...isn't that what Albert Lea is trying to do?  Create a positive image? :frusty:

What bothers me is that Eaton has a history of abusing public funds like with "cookiegate"...her cute name she came up with for her spending CVB money on personal things.

This is not a person to be trusted with public funds in any way shape or form. Hope she has no access to even a stamp and paper clips.


Agreeing with you TTT!

Would those who are so quick to welcome her back extend the same courtesy if the person was a child molester or a crack head who had paid their dues?

I agree CC.  There need to be a more across the board approach  to filling  open board positions not just having the chamber picking there " close personal friends " Well said.

I was at the council meeting last Monday.  There are still openings on a couple of the commissions, Human Rights and Heritage Preservation I think.

If you're interested, fill out an application.  It's that easy.  If you don't volunteer, you most likely won't get asked.

I have a question, I would love to apply for the Human Rights commission but live in the country and out of Albert Lea proper.  Does that automatically disqualify me?

It really shouldn't, anyone who lives in the county should be eligible. Human rights are not just a city issue. After all you must come to Albert Lea to shop and visit the Court House for auto and drivers licenses.  Many of you work in town, and send your children to school in town...Most of you don't spend most of your winters down south!....    :dunno:  ......ned

I would hope people don't wait around to be asked to get involved.  If you want to make a difference get involved.  http://www.city.albertlea.org/boardsandcommissions.htm

Looking at the list of people on city boards and commissions it looks like a good cross section of people.   In my experience people who are on a committee or board are more likely to get involved in other things.  

I am tired of hearing people complain but not being willing to stand up and be counted.  It is easier to be the arm chair quarterback then to get in the game, some things never change.
