Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Related county workers common: Health director's firing highlighted conflicts of interest

Read this quote by Dr. Chalfa:

"The fact that three of the commissioners would go to the extreme length of removing the chairman and attempt to remove another board member is an indication of their aggressive control over the health department," Chalfa wrote. "This maneuver clearly demonstrates their lack of respect for the existing board of health."
Who does this guy think he is??? Why should we have any respect for the health board for conducting a blatant illegal meeting??? And heaven forbid for our elected representatives to have a say in what goes on in the health department.
