[Vision2020] A Sad Night for Moscow

[Tom Hansen]

Perhaps what this city needs is a staff that will provide accurate
information to our city council in a timely manner, so that information can
be thoroughly reviewed prior to any decision.

If I continuously held off until just before staff meetings to provide my
boss with information pertinent to decisions being made at those staff
meetings, I certainly would not be expecting to work there much longer.  

Heck.  I would probably be reduced to maintaining some self-serving local
blog.

Our council deserves better.  Our city DEMANDS better.

Excuse me,  g.

First, I am not "hansen". If you want to piss on him, do it in  
response to one of his posts.

Second, reread my comments. I, as a taxpayer in this city, expect my  
elected representatives understand what they are voting on before  
they say yea or nay. I, as a citizen, need to know what information  
will be used in a decision IF I am going to make an informed comment.  
Neither I nor the Council can fully consider the consequences of a  
decision if essential facts are presented as the Councilors walk into  
a meeting. Staff being allowed to insert information at the last  
minute is a question  of TIMING, not a target of someone's "pique."

A decision based on last minute input is NOT necessarily a good one.
