Yeah, get your laughs out of that post title.
This last Tuesday night when I was able to leave work, go thru a drive thru, and grab something from home before going straight to the city council meeting at 5:30, at first glance I thought, “This is pretty cool, I can go straight from work to a council meeting, say my sh*t and go home, all before 6 PM.”
Then reality set in.
I have railed for years that the Minnehaha County Commission should have night meetings for the convenience of working people. In fact the Commission sails thru all kinds of things because they don’t have the scrutiny of the public. There is rarely public input at commission unless it is someone self-employed or retired.
Also, all the informational and committee meetings of the council would have to be held at an early time, in which would be difficult for members of the public, business people and even city councilors to attend.
Lastly, I don’t have kids, I don’t even have a dog to let out to pee. It would be difficult for members of the public to make the 5:30 meeting with all of the after work hectics.
So please, ignore my thoughts and lets keep council meetings at 7 PM. It is the most convenient time.
