In this meeting: soooooo much time and drama dedicated to Kate Toomey’s strange opposition to a mundane sprinkler ordinance. Apparently five other councilors agree with her. None of them really said why, but it’s between the lines. What Toomey and Bergman do to the fire chief is inexcusable in my opinion. Grounds for termination if these were real jobs.
Transcript is available to paid subscribers only as a treat!! Here’s a quick example of what it looks like. It’s timestamped and most speaker names are attached to comments, making it easy to search and easy to cross check with the tape.
I’d share the video right here but the city decided at some point to disable the external sharing setting on their videos, which is 1., wack, 2. annoying, 3. says quite a bit when you really think about it (not suggested).
Here’s what it looks like when I try to share, just so you get the idea…
Anyway. I’m consciously building these day-after transcripts into my reporting routine because it is extremely useful and an archive of transcripts would be even more useful. Please think about supporting this little digital alt weekly that could!
