Insubstantial is hardly a common description for Mark Muir. But watching Councilman Muir over the last three months of council meetings I have one response - yawn. His contributions to council discussions show a decided lack of . . . well anything. As it relates to . . . subject . . . verb - week after week. Punctuated by strings of jargon, acronyms and buzz words, his mouth moves but it sounds like the teacher's voice from the Peanuts cartoon.
At the last council meeting Deputy Mayor Shaffer's made a motion for the small task of double checking the wording on the council-crafted rebuttal to the Voter Initiative argument. She named him for a subcommittee and he seemed really uncomfortable and unwilling to take on any real responsibility.
This is one person's perspective, however; with ATRT-subject-verb Muir receiving a pension 14 times larger than this person's social security retirement income, I'm baffled at this failure upwards he represents. More galling is his constant - hypocritical - demands to justify money spent by the city.
Just an observation that he seems to just be taking up space. That is all.
