« Fairfax County Slams Vienna Officials in Email | Home Page | Watch Out Mayor Seeman, The Truth Bites »

Recommended, Submitted, Requested, Appointed

Every year the Town publishes an excerpt in their newsletter listing the polling officials for that year. Each year they use a word to lead off the sentence announcing the names. Here is how they have described it since 1980 in the Town newsletter:

1980: Requested [these election officials]...
1981: Requested...
1982: Appointed...
1983: Requested...
1984: Submitted...
1985: Requested...
1986: Requested...
1987-2007: Recommended...

Yes, they have been consistent on their terminology for sometime, but considering the origin of this "selection" process dates to the dawns of time, it is relevant that they have used four different words to state how they made their picks. Note: Did Roger Seeman serve on Council during the eighties?
