Jan 13 at the Zoo!

Ok, the power struggle has reached the speed of sound. First, Tom Ristau writes the agenda from hell, then he complains that things are taking too long. I guess he wants it to appear that the new majority City Council can't get the job done. Nobody could get that agenda done in one day, let alone one evening.
Tom, it seems you don't like Clay (understatement of the young year). We can't have non staff people hearing what goes on behind closed doors, can we, Tom?
There was more defensiveness than Sadaam had last night. Something to hide ole boys? I swear, the whole staff couldn't spell transparency with a spell checker. We need to knock down those walls!
Well, i got the idea of how it was going by 9:15pm and went home for dinner. It was interesting, but the old guard objected to everything and wasted a lot of time, in my opinion. The ole boys are trying to bring this town to a halt. I say, Tom Ristau needs to leave and Laurie and Steve need to contain themselves and concede their loss of power.
