Jan 08, 2018To me it looks like Terry and Gene have been marginalized so they cannot immediately influence Planning. April conitiues with the Justice committee from which she will forge on to advance her zoning “transformation” agenda as a sop for the development and real estate industry. At least a voice of fact and analysis, Michael, will be in charge of the Planning committee (it could have been otherwise with Pinky or Dan running planning). Roxanne will have to work at what she is doing for the first time since she rose to the ranks of the council. Maybe now she will actually return my emails and phone calls… but I don’t place much confidence in that at all.

Jan 10, 2018For those who would like to hear how committee sausage is made (there is no video of the process) tune in here. Unfortunately the votes for each of the committee assignments were done by voice (indistinguishable) or hand raising so determining who voted for whom is impossible.

The sky is falling! The Sky is Falling! Evil social justice warriors are conspiring to kill us all! I must leave town! Please somebody buy my house!
I hope that you appreciative my tongue in cheek humor for what it is. Seriously, guys, I respect how hard you both work for what you believe in, but can you lighten up a little?
