Last Night at City Hall

Dan Udell's video of last night's Common Council meeting is now available on YouTube. Click here to view it.

Of note is that John Rosenthal, who, as chair of the Legal Committee, has played a central role in the Stewart's issue since January 2018, was not present last night for the apotheosis of his efforts: voting to accept the host community benefit agreement offered by Stewart's.

Also at the meeting, Pamela Mann from the Coalition Against Bigger Trucks made a presentation warning about possible changes to federal standards for the length and weight of trucks (15:00), Nicole Genito took members of the Common Council to task for allegedly subjecting the Youth Department to greater scrutiny when it comes to budget issues than other departments (26:35), Kamal Johnson suggested the Council needs to make City Hall more "family friendly" by providing books for children who come to Council meetings with their parents (29:11), Linda Mussmann complained about trucks using State Street instead of the truck route (30:41), and Tiffany Garriga suggested that a dedicated officer is needed to police trucks (33:49).

  1. Nice to see Alderman Volo was present at the formal meeting of the Common Council representing the 4th Ward, while 4th Ward Alderman Rosenthal was "missing in action".

    1. John Rosenthal was, and continues to be, indisposed. But isn't it wonderful to see people jump to conclusions.

    2. Not jumping to any conclusions, as you are. Just stating a fact that he wasn't at the meeting. I'm not questioning the reason, and just making note that the 4th Ward was thankfully represented.

    3. That you thought the fact worth mentioning at all, and in scare quotes, is innuendo enough.
