Questions For The Day – Elected Self Evaluation

Self Reflection for the politician

Are you an elected official?

If so,

  • Do you believe that we must all eventually face our maker, and answer for our actions?
  • As an elected person, are you a person who sees an opportunity to advance your influence over your community, or to make that influence less impactful and imposing?
  • Have you considered that every new rule you make or support, generally creates a new burden on someone? Or that at the very least, you ‘shift’ the burden from one party to another?
  • When you vote to enact new restrictions, do you find yourself justifying the decisions based on your own contemplation, or by reasoning offered from others?
  • Do you see new taxes as a source of that allows government to improve its services, or as a way to control behavior?
  • Has your election changed how you feel about new rules, taxes, or government’s role in people life?
  • Has your election changed how you see the size of government? Is it too-big, just-right, or not-enough?
  • In the performance of your duties, are you inclined to create new restrictions or find new ways to liberate your voters?
  • In reviewing your record to date, would you you be truly proud of the decisions you’ve made – IF viewing them through the your pre-elected lens and focus?

    Its recall season in MI. How Ironic that candidates being recalled may amass millions of dollars with basically no accounting or oversight. There's always a recall going on against the Gretch and she's taken advantage of that to legally amass millions and now everyone wants in on it. This has become a very profitable cottage industry. A proposed law to correct this failed. Candidates have to file finance reports. Recalling candidate money through a non-profit does not.
