Sounds like Dave is not working hard enough. Better get him off his Askins.

Re: Having Part 2 of the report on what happened on March 7, amendment by amendment, before the next meeting, on March 21, when the council is taking up the issue again.

That’s a fair enough point, and I’m working towards that end.

Well, the City Council will be taking up the proposed medical marijuana ordinance tomorrow (Monday) evening. It would really be great to have the Chronicle’s authoritative word on what happened, amendment by amendment, on March 7, before then.

Inquiring minds want to know!

Where is Part 2 of the report of this Council meeting – the part about medical marijuana? I can’t find it.

Re: [1] "Was [Anglin] saying he's against public-private partnerships?" In a forced choice for-against, I'd conclude based on Anglin's remarks a the council meeting, as well as at a recent park advisory (PAC) commission meeting, that he'd be against using public-private partnerships in the parks system. A more nuanced version of his position would be something more along the lines of: We need to be very careful and thoughtful before embarking on a relationship with a private entity in connection with the parks system. The conversation at the Feb. 15, 2011 PAC meeting included a discussion of an RFP that the city will be issuing for the operation of concessions (snacks, drinks, etc.) at recreation facilities, something the parks staff has heard from facility users that they'd like to have available.

Can you elaborate on Anglin’s “issues with the proposed Fuller Road Station and public-private partnerships in the parks.” Was he saying he’s against public-private partnerships?
