A nice tidy job!

The Spooner affair will be put to bed next Monday when the committee report will reveal that the vote to put Miriam in her place will remain at 5-2. So much for Spooner's efforts to stay on side.

How you know this Ben?

According to Cecilia Nasmith of Northumberland Today (Mar 10) "By her silence, which technically counts as a nay, Mutton cast the only dissenting vote at the Cobourg council meeting."

Northumberland News made no reference to the vote count, other than say it was carried.

Perhaps Cecilia did not talk to the same person I did, he even told me he heard BS say Nay

Yays and nays are too much alike. They should move to a coloured placard system (blue no, red yes), so councillors have no grounds for being 'misheard'. Would likely help the press too.

Perhaps standing up, physically and symbolically, for your declaration, would be appropriate when counting votes. There's just something about taking a visible stance that gives it some extra significance, and leaves little doubt about the result. Stand up if you agree.

Standing up would definitely wake Spooner up, wouldn't it?
