I was not able to attend last night's meeting but others with CUAPB did. I'm told it was a very good opportunity for the community to give our pathetic excuse for a mayor and his impotent, lame-duck police chief a piece of their minds. No solutions were forthcoming from those city officials, of course. Just more of the same slick talk as always.
I just have to say how funny it is that Rybak and Co. are busily denouncing Moss/Staten/McAfee and crew as "so-called community leaders" in this current situation and in the situation surrounding Jennings. I've made no secret of my feelings toward that cabal but Rybak, Olson and Zerby just LOVED these guys when they wanted to use them to deep-six federal mediation. Where's the love now? Usurpation and co-optation make for strange bedfellows but I guess the honeymoon has to end sometime.
