Saltpeter: A New Dynamic

My latest column, an analysis of the new council’s first meeting…
The new City Council had its first full meeting Tuesday evening and it was clear from the outset that residents were going to witness a city conducting its business in an entirely different way, and it could not come at a more opportune time.
The city faces significant hurdles, and trouble surely looms. Jobs may be cut, projects may be lost, and scars will be permanent. An energized council must take sweeping and effective action–which must be immediate to avoid serious harm. The deceits were deep, and the deficits are real.
