[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some council members have clear agendas, like Jawando (anti-police).

Also a lot of them don't look at the big picture. They're took quick to dole out money without seeing if that will be effective. Very often, the county ends up duplicating the very same programs we have at the state or federal level, for no reason, like small business loans, earned income credit, and so on.

Then they'll stray off into areas way outside their remit, like issuing declarations in support of people in X country, when inter-country relations are the responsibility of the US State department.

The only 2 decent councilmembers are Friedman and Katz. Friedman used to do budget so he asked the right questions about that, while Katz used to be a business owner so he comes at it from that perspective.

However, all too often the council ends up with a unanimous vote on a bill.. it makes them come off as a bunch of yes-people.[/quote]

Yes! Katz was the only one who told the truth about Thrive. (This was before Friedson was on the Council, I think).
