The people democratically elected the County Council. Though it is unfortunate that there arise differences between individuals, they are hopefully reconcilable. There never should be given the right to dismiss assistants, necessary to the adequate functioning of a Council member, unilaterally by the head of the Council for personal differences. Reconciliation should be sought with the help of a mediator. Every means of reaching understanding should be required and not unilateral might and abuse of power. “If you don’t do xyz you are out of here is untold abuse of power.” and very UNDEMOCRATIC
