A report from the last City Council meeting… “Resident Bill Kelly took the council to task for regularly approving large expenditures on the consent calendar; during a stretch of 21 council meetings spanning a year, Kelly said, ‘no member of this board ever thought for one moment to exercise their right to say, “I want it taken off the consent calendar and put to public hearing.” In other words,’ he said, ‘the citizens aren’t getting any input here whatsoever.’”
There’s a name for this phenomenon… easy-bake.
