What Happened to Balls?

Or ovaries. Whatever fits the situation.

I've noticed something I find kinda disturbing lately and its the increase amount of elected officials that won't comment.

Look if you're an elected official and under indictment then by all means protect yourself and keep your mouth shut.

But if you're an elected official and you don't want to give comment on a vote, position, or an agenda item you freaking posted in the first place, there is something wrong with you and the community should be suspicious of them.

In multiple media outlets, on multiple stories, several elected officials primarily at the city level have refused to give comment on stories. You're an elected official. You have a job to do. If you aren't willing to communicate with the public about a vote you took on their behalf, you have a problem.

And I don't just mean the whole I-gotta-go-talk-to-my-mommy thing.

I'm talking about not wanting to answer questions about issues before the city, county, or state.

Representative Ordaz went on Xtra the other night and Maria Garcia mentioned that multiple member of council didn't want to go on the show. She took a lot of tough questions not only from the host but from calls and tweets. I'm sure it wasn't a pleasant experience but she had the ovaries to show up and take the questions.

But council members that won't even respond to questions from media outlets on issues relating to their job is a terrible commentary on them as elected officials.
