The Town Council gets a cold slap
Last night's council meeting was the most interesting one I have ever seen. I watched a lawyer basically tell our council they did not know the laws. They did not know the right protocol. They were rushing to judgement. And a night of rather arrogant insults aimed at the council. I have had my complaints and my disagreements but never ever became nasty or disrespectful I would think if you want something like this the lawyer would have used a little sugar but he choose salt and vinegar which backfired right on him. Not only did they state they would change the ordinance but they now would take two weeks to fine tune it for the impending lawsuit which they stated publicly. These lawyers may have encouraged the council to see the light, let's hope for the best...

Yes, it was an interesting meeting. That lawyer chose exactly the wrong approach.
The only worry might be that the two week "tweak" might give Matrix time to get some plans in. Don't know how the zoning change would affect that.
Still, it's much easier to get flies with honey. Matrix has chosen the contentious approach and is just making things worse. Public opinion will fire up even more against them.
Besides, whom should the Council listen to? Aren't the residents the ones who deserve first consideration?
ah, lawyers .... i hate the ones who think confrontation is the best way forward, it's generally totally counter productive...
