Not sure if anyone watched the City Council meeting Monday night, but now they have a countdown clock that will play on the overhead screen during public testimony.
Silly.
First off, I don’t have a problem with the 5 minute rule, but it should be given some latitude. During the Pawn Shop ordinance testimony, local attorney, Dean Nasser, Â asked for more time since he was representing several clients. Seems reasonable.
But to be quite honest with you, the anti-censorship, 1st Amendment rights freak in me says, to Hell with the time limit. We elect and pay these people to serve us. They must listen, no matter how painful it may be for them. With or without our hats on.
