Thursday, September 2, 2010, a new president was elected to replace Hugo Odette, who has resigned for "health reasons".
The chronology of this case is unusual: few months ago Recloses has applied for inclusion in the community of municipalities. What is the synergy between a remote village of 700 inhabitants of 7 km and an urban area? It gave generously to the newcomer to the Community Board 4 seats (there are 12 to Fontainebleau, 12 for Avon and none for the opposition), and in addition to Mayor Recloses was offered a vice-president with compensation.
Thursday, 12 counselors have expected to see election as president, a deputy of Avon, which seemed quite logical in the context of alternating direction after several years of Bellifontaine. Nay, arithmetic was perverse: 11 + 4 Fontainebleau Recloses and the mayor of Fontainebleau lives propel a position he coveted.
Explaining the attitude Mayor of Avon? Political naïveté or Machiavellianism? We asked the question in council, he refused to answer. Why does he defends the interests not of his town? Avon participates in the sharing of community losses of Commons, Fontainebleau, privatize profits.
The new president is close to a situation of dual mandate: it is the Mayor, Regional Councillor and in 2012 will be best placed to be the future MP. The law specifies that an elected official can receive monthly over € 8,100 in compensation.
Guy Carcassonne, a prominent constitutional lawyer, returned a few months ago in the press about the problem of overlapping. In a modern democracy, the political tendency is for him to cauterize a wound. One man, however gifted, can properly occupy several positions. To do so, he is surrounded by teams that must pay a second time, it blocks the rise of new talents, he became a professional who manages her career and forget the general interest.
In 2014, the legislature will change the functioning of local communities. Waiting to see if our city finds a democratic balance and technical efficiency. If the situation does not improve, we should consider secession for a more humane community. The future of Avon is on the Seine.
