EP Dems Need a Parlimentarian
I've been replaying the stupidity of the events the other night at the El Paso Democratic Party Executive Committee meeting and I realized one of he major problems that contributed to the circus.
Obviously selective rule enforcement is one.
But the other thing is something that can be fixed. We need a Parliamentarian a a Sergeant-at-Arms. Obviously we have constables that fill the role, but we need people officially tasked to fill those rolls.
My understanding is that Ray Mancera was appointed to advise the Chair on rules at the last meeting, but all the procedural questions were answered by Sebastian Martinez, not by Mancera. Mancera didn't speak at all during the meeting.
But in fairness to him, it was a job he had for the night and it was a charged meeting.
The point is, if we had a Parliamentarian and a Sergeant-of-Arms then meetings would run much more smoothly.
