[Vision2020] City Council Stifles Debate

[Tom Hansen]

This democracy thing really has you spoofed, huh Mr. Johnston?

Cutting off the people's voice simply because they are in the minority.  What an EFFED-UP way to go through life.

Have you watched the video?

The blame rests totally with Dan Carscallen.  He was merely supported by Steed and Krauss.

Just watch the first few minutes of the opening.

Note to Mr. Johnston:  Do us both a favor and lose my email address, ok?

'Nuff said.

Had that not worked and the question been called it would have required a 4-2 vote to force the question.  If it went 3-3 then the Mayor could have broken the tie (though not necessary as a supermajority is required).

People attended the April 1st city council session because they were informed that they would be afforded an opportunity to express their opinion ("for" or "against") concerning the non-discrimination ordinance and resolution; a right denied them by Council members Dan Carscallen, Walter Steed, and Wayne Krauss.  Mayor Chaney reiterated, at the opening of the discussion, that the people should be allowed (at that session) to voice their opinions.

The pro-ordinance crowd would decry the plight of the GLBT community (also gonna take a guess that most of them are heterosexual... actually kinda insulting to me that our progressives in this town think they know what I've "gone through"... but thats another topic) and the anti-ordinance crowd would have preached that God forbids homosexuality (along with trimming one's beard but Gresham Bouma is always cleanshaven... hmmmmm).... and you know what?
