Civics 101
After attending the Tehachapi City Council meeting tonight, I began to wonder if Council Member Stan Beckham ever took a class in government. It was quite plane to see that his opinion is the only one that matters as he kept interrupting the other members as they were speaking. I read in the agenda that Roberts Rules of Order were followed in the meetings. Well, except for Mr. Beckham. His self agrandizing behavior is an embarrasment to the City. Perhaps Mr. Beckham should take a refresher course in Civics 101.

After attending several meetings of the Tehachapi City Council  I am wondering if Council member Beckham ever took any classes in government. He appears to be mostly uninformed and get his lessons in Tehachapi government during the meetings. One would think that a member of the City Council would take a little effort and become familiar with the issues prior to meetings. Not so with Mr. Beckham. I read in the agenda that the City Council meetings follow Roberts Rules of Order. Apparently that does not apply to Mr. Beckham. He repeatedly interrupts other Council members as they are speaking. Not only is this contrary to Roberts Rules of Order, it is just plain rude. Perhaps Mr. Beckham can enrol in Civics 101 and learn just how a government is supposed to work. And maybe the City can see fit to buy Mr. Beckham a copy of Roberts Rules of Order.
