Arena-tax committee is a guy thing

The nine members of the arena sales-tax oversight committee up for appointment today by the Sedgwick County Commission are probably all great guys. But therein lies a problem: They are all guys. Given that it’s 2005 and all, surely it’s not too much to expect a board of any size and purpose appointed by a local government to have some women on it.

    You go girl! It’s not about qualifications or even political connections, it’s about whether you’re a man or a womyn!

    Gimme a break.

    Why does it matter? After all, the sex of an auditor isn’t all that important to the job is it? Or is this just about forcing another artificial substitute for equality? For that matter, is the committee composed of the approved ratios of blacks, Asians, Mexicans, Christians, Jews, and terrorists?

    Tactically, it might be better to let it go this time. Save our women for important stuff.

    I wonder if any woman stepped up for it. If they didn’t pick any, I assume none wanted their name in the hat to be a possible pick for a seat on the committee.

    There is still the public oversight committee. :)
