While the Cat's Away...the Council Plays


Mayor O'Neill Goes Out of Town..and Kell Changes Rules

With no disrespect meant toward Mayor O'Neill, it does seem funny that while she was out of town..and unable to run the City Council meeting...that Vice Mayor Kell would take it upon herself to change the rules regarding who could show "Power point" presentations during City Council meetings.

Seems as if Kell decided that she should allow pro-airport expansion types extra time (most of us lowly citizens are limited to 3...count them..3 minutes) to explain the slides on the screen (again which us lowly citizens are not allowed to do) about the need for airport expansion.

Then again, who said all is fair in politics..especially when you are trying to entice pro-airport expansion supporters into funding an independent expenditure for your campaign?
