Did you know that Llano is an Elective Dictatorship and the Llano Citizens' Bill of Rights is the answer?

Assertion: The Llano City Government is an Elective Dictatorship and the Llano Citizens' Bill of Rights is the answer.

In 1976 Lord Hailsham described the British system of government as an ‘elective dictatorship’. What he meant was that the government, once elected, is able to behave like a dictator owing to the weakness of Parliament. Judge Napolitano brings that phrase to the US, claiming our federal government is an elective dictatorship, as articulately proven in his new book Suicide Pact.

I would like to extrapolate that to our Llano Government and assert that our small city's government is an elective dictatorship. I will prove that by looking at the actual actions by current and past Mayor/City Manager leadership and willing councils.

The citizen abuses in the table below on the left are derived from LlanoWatch articles on abuses by Mayor Reagor's and Mayor Virdell's governments. These abuses demonstrate that our elected government takes our rights and spends our tax money capriciously without our input or even the input of those we elect to restore our rights. This is an elective dictatorship.

We need the Llano Citizens’ Bill of Rights to take back our rights. We can't depend on campaign promises for we have all seen those vanish. We must embody these rights in a city ordinance.

The elective dictatorship will be the legacy of Mayor Reagor and Mayor Virdell. Let's hope we can find a mayoral candidate and council members that will make their legacies the Llano Citizens’ Bill of Rights. LlanoWatch will provide more detail in the coming weeks.
