Res. No. 2014-R61 – does ‘citizens’ to be encouraged include the mayor and council members?
Res. No. 2014-R61 – I am totally against!
I bet the first resolution gets delayed six times and then ends up getting scuttled in a last minute closed door session after citizen complaints.
In all seriousness, this is kind of a dumb resolution. Nobody ever thought the city was against this and it really doesn’t merit whatever time was spent discussing and voting on it.
That and I want them to put midgets back in midget porn!!!!
As of this morning, the agenda has been updated and it looks like both Pear Street items will be continued
