Public commenter says partisan loyalty, board infighting harm American decision-making
Commenter, a public commenter, criticized partisan loyalty and conflict among boards during the meeting's public comment period, saying, "Nobody can go 50 or 60 years in the hole and only make money 4 times like we like America has done." The speaker added that in Washington "we're just going to vote, you know, for the brand we ride, whether it's Democrat or Republican. We don't vote what's good for America anymore."

The remarks were delivered as part of the public comment portion of the transcript and reflect the speaker's opinion; the transcript does not record any formal motion, vote or staff response tied to the remarks. The comment focused on two points: criticism of long-term financial outcomes described by the speaker and a complaint that partisan loyalty — voting along party lines — has replaced deliberation about what is best for the country.

The transcript does not identify the meeting body, the commenter by name, or any follow-up action. Because the statement is a personal opinion recorded during public comment, it was not associated with a formal agenda item, ordinance, resolution or documented board decision in the available transcript.
