Another Meeting...

I just returned from a City Council meeting. Rather interesting – several members of the public were there to protest the enlarging of Casino San Pablo. Quite often there are only a couple of people in the audience, and the City conducts its business with not a soul caring about the outcome, or at least, very few souls. The Casino issue has been belabored up to the point of redundancy.

Of course, as is the case with any proposition in this City, it seems, the City Council proceeded with a resolution of support for the enlarged Casino. In the meetings that I have attended regarding the Casino, and the acquisition of mobile home parks in the next block, the City has continued in the mode that it has adopted previously – listen to the people, then proceed as planned.

This is not necessarily a bad thing, as the City has made many improvements over the years, and is not a bad place at all in which to live, but sometimes it seems to me that it does not really matter that much whether one is “for” or “against”. It is very interesting to watch our local governing body at work. Let’s see what happens next.
