Almost every week this is the "What's on the city council's plate this week" review. I don't cover everything, so if you want the full rundown, read the packet and agenda yourself. Nothing much in the packet this week (maybe something about a "water plan" that I'll write about later, but it looks pretty daunting), except a little note from the "Committee of the Chairs" meeting on Tuesday night at 5p (report @ scribd):
It looks like they don't have anything to talk to us about. So, outside of sea leve rise, can anyone think of anything else they'd like to talk to the city council about?

Submitted by a.future.with.n... on Sat, 03/01/2008 - 1:46pm.I wasn't sheeshing you, I was sheeshing the city council. They all ran on a platform of putting housing downtown, they signed over a city lot to a condo developer, it's not like they haven't been moving on the issue. The one thing they haven't been doing is seeking public input.
It is kind of discouraging though. If we have council members more concerned with making a political mark on a political career than listening and responding to the people who live in Olympia than why have a town hall at all? Seriously, if they can't find ANYTHING to talk about, with all that there is to bring up, they are not acting in our interest.
