How sad that Glass thinks Petlauma citizens are dumb enough to accept his spin on this disgusting episode. Firing the planning commissioners was a totally separate act from disbanding SPARC. Neither move was taken with appropriate public input: they were backroom deals done outside of Council chambers. No amount of spin can change the reality of his actions.

What a sordid, expensive, illegal and unseemly mess the council majority has created! Healy, Rabbitt and Harris are absolutely correct about the council majority's motives. The smell from Petaluma these days isn't cow manure, it is the stench of the council majority's back room deals being forced on the community.

And it continues... Link

thanks tahoe.

from the article -

“It’s that you, the city, put specific rules in place, and you didn’t follow your own rules,” he said. “The city had to pay counsel to redraft the municipal code. So I believe the real losers are the taxpayers who have to pay for these mistakes.”

“The voters would have to think long and hard about whether they truly want their elected officials, when they get called on the carpet, to just change the law to benefit a private agenda,” Sansone said. “Let the voters decide.”

i would like to hear glass/pam address these issues specifically. these items have come up but they have never been addressed by the majority. a great deal of talk ensues, but no such response to these issues. please majority.....address this. how much have you spent of city money to correct your mistake? how is what you did not simply to suit your private agenda?
