How tough are you? How much can you take? How long will you watch?
It is boring stuff, but how generic city council meetings can be, if Resolutions are ostensibly to be on the table nearing an election.
Mysteriously, the sole three Resolutions on the Agenda were noted by the mayor early in the meeting as removed from formal consideration and a vote.
As background helpful to understand flag mischief, images here, the old flag, here, the new one.
At the end of the meeting naked politicking. First the mayor notes at great length (as the election nears) he is deeply, deeply troubled over things nonetheless stripped from the agenda. (The impression arguably seems he'll be more and more deeply troubled as the time to election shortens.) A hope is he can get through without permanent psychological harm to be able to vote his conscience, such as it is. Then a gentleman named Cal Bahr pops up from nowhere, to also speak at length. And - THIS WHOLE THING IS REAL, NOT A PARODY.
As to that last closing thing in the meeting, [UPDATE: mayor and council imput, starting at about 1:33:00 to end of meeting broadcast at 2:04:50] the hocus pocus with Bahr from not even on the agenda that I know of, to center of the closing.
I think of Magic Johnson's adage on leaving the locker room for the game.
"Showtime."
It did strike me as a tawdry scripted ending, but what do I know? And again, for a reader in Brazil or Singapore or elsewhere, THIS IS A REAL THING. NOT PROFESSIONAL THEATRE.
STRICTLY AMATEUR. Produced by a white folks council duly elected by a predominantly white electorate where Crazy Michele Bachmann used to be Congressional Rep.
American Gothic, and then some.
