March 25, 2014 – Daily Brief

By Josh Premako

Whether you're there in person, watching on TV or streaming it online, tonight's City Council meeting is an important one, as the council again takes up the issue of billboards. Expect much public commenting. Will the council take residents' comments to heart and delay pushing through a questionable deal to allow for further discussion? Will they politely allow for public comment and then proceed with "we know best" business as usual? Will detractors be labelled "billboard terrorists"? We shall see.
