Two Daytona Beach Shores city commissioners have resigned prior to a Jan. 1 deadline for filing a more stringent financial disclosure form.

Two Daytona Beach Shores city commissioners have resigned as the latest in a wave of local elected officials leaving before Jan. 1, when they face more stringent financial disclosure requirements.

Mel Lindauer, a Shores commissioner since 2016, told The News-Journal on Wednesday the new requirement − submitting what’s known as Form 6 − is “totally invasive” and serves no purpose.

Commissioner Richard Bryan, who has also served since 2016, said in his Dec. 21 resignation letter that he had another priority but added the Form 6 issue “affected the timing” of his decision.

…

Many state officials already file a Form 6, including the governor and Cabinet, legislators, county council members and sheriffs. The forms require disclosure of the filer’s net worth and holdings valued at more than $1,000, including bank accounts, stocks, retirement accounts, salary and dividends.

    Nordic countries have extraordinarily high rates of theft/robbery/burglary compared to the rest of Europe

    This you? It’s fucking false. Stop moving the goalposts between east and west Europe and admit you are wrong or at least misspoke.

      Yeah buddy I can’t help it if you’re stupid. You can literally look at the maps which are very conveniently laid out for you, oh what’s this when you look at theft? They are the highest in Europe by far. Oh and what’s this, burgarlary is way higher in nordic countries than it is in most other European countries too??? No way, I wouldn’t believe it if it weren’t RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF US. Oh and finally, Sweden is much higher in Robbery rates than most of Europe, with Finland also being in not so good shape! Impossible, astonishing even.

      The only way you can interpret this data as “nordic countries don’t have high theft rates” is if you exclude most of Europe. Which is why I brought up eastern Europe, they usually show a stark contrast in these crimes and many of them have comparable or greater population than Nordic countries (Poland literally has more population than all of them combined). They are very relevant to the discussion

      And I guess your reading comprehension sucks too because in the first comment I immediately mentioned how countries who aren’t “those dirty eastern europoors” (as western europeans often think if them) generally have a lot more crime, there was no “goalpost shifting” that was in my original comment lmfao.

      I don’t have the patience to deal with your ineptitude anymore. Good day.
