This is always the part of politics that i despise. Puna politics seem especially prone to this. Someone with power or a loud voice goes off on some kind of tangent, and it holds everything else up. It throws a spanner in the works of the whole way things are supposed to function. Ruggles may or may not have a valid point, and I have usually agreed with her politics, but to drag her feet over something like this is kind of selfish in my mind. There are MANY things the County Council needs to address right now, and it would be much better for them to actually accomplish some work instead of being distracted. Maybe it will come out later that Ruggles is correct, but in the meantime I would hope that they would continue to function as best as they can. Otherwise its just another hippie (rolling my eyes) going blah blah blah about another conspiracy theory, and sucking all the air out of the room. I'm feeling very disappointed.
