City Council Retreat – UPDATED
ByLeslee Kulba is a regular at City and County government meetings. I’m no fan of her politics, but I sure like that she went to the first day of the Council retreat and wrote a rough transcript for folks like you and me to read.
UPDATE – Kulba has posted Part Two of her report.

Leslee’s report is pretty accurate and complete (discounting her editorialization).
The most telling events of the two day meeting (it continued Saturday morning) involved Miller’s flacking for the Chamber of Commerce, including a vote on Saturday concerning the hotel tax—which pays at least some part of his salary at the Chamber and funds his program there.

sigh – Cape offered to cut “Explore implementing an Energy Performance Certificate program that rates and rewards the degree to which buildings are energy-efficient”
I’ve been begging for that for years.

During his interview with Council Miller said that he would “definitely recuse” himself from voting on any issue the Chamber of Commerce had taken a position on, yet we are already hearing excuses as to why his voting on the room tax does not present a conflict of interest. Go figure.

Leslie makes Mumpower look like a bleeding heart hippie.
Having said that, she did a great job. Kudos Leslie, if you’re reading this.
Next time you make a snotty remark about the evils of liberalism, I’m going to send you a happy thought.
