Yep, that sums it up. I listened to that meeting.

I, for one, am looking forward with -great- joy to a conversation with an officer about whether or not I was sufficiently fussy about placing my foot -all- the way on the ground when I stopped prior to proceeding at a safe and thoughtful speed through the pedestrian phase at Beacon and Park.

I am reminded that this is the same city council who has had a police oversight commission by ordinance languishing in committee for five (5) years now and have been placidly waiting for (checks notes) the police to tell them it's okay to do so.

We've got two police and and eight fire department hires on the agenda tonight. I'm waiting up mostly to see if those get approved on the spot.

But for real, if the council is content to be a rubber stamp, these meetings could be a -lot- shorter.

Interesting, Councilor @benforward3.bsky.social does some very specific finagling to lay the police appointments on the table rather than sending them to committee.

I will admit to a shred of very exhausted curiosity.

There was another draft of the plan for the armory that whistled past, but that was just put on file.

I assume it is -not- "long term leases" so who cares?

Time for the cheeky cyclocross dismount and walking across the intersection I guess. 😅

somershade.bsky.social•18 days ago

Fuck that.

If they want to talk, I'm happy to talk. I'll soak up -lots- of time. Y'all proceed while I've got them tied up.

Somewhat seriously: some councilor should just put up a sign themselves and dare the mayor to take it down. They all know where to get their lawn signs printed! Easy positive publicity for someone running for mayor.

Kristen Strezo was ready to go to buy paint herself during the meeting so she might already have plans.

I'm into it.
