A Majority Of One
As usual the paper gave a very thin account of the actual Council discussion on the Charter. What a disservice to the community to gloss over what many believe to be a significant issue. It goes without saying that giving some actual attention to the issue would sell more papers. This why I so dislike the practice of discussing important or controversial matters in Council workshops. These meetings are not held in the Council Chambers so they are not video taped. Thus the public is at the mercy of the Telegram as what, if anything, they say about the meeting. Then again, this is why some on the Council would rather have these discussions at workshops.
Oh well, four to one is not that bad. Andrew Jackson once said, “One man with courage makes a majority.” So a majority of one I make.
