One is the heads-I-win tails-you-lose quality of it (for those who oppose the percent for art funding mechanism).

Another is the lack of council deliberation on the details. This is an example of the poor decision-making mechanism that I complained about on my campaign blog. I know there was a two-week interim, but most councilmembers had this sprung on them full-blown with little opportunity to shape it. That is not a good way to make policy.

Good to see Thomas Partridge yet again.
