“Thank you, Madam President. I want to say that, you know, we're all non-council members, and I know that Cynthia and Ellen and I, we three are the longest council members here.

It does not look good. I don't ever remember going back and forth. Here it is, 1030. We've been talking about this paper since, what, 7? And now we voted it down. That's correct. We have. So now we're trying to... We were going to go in closed session, which I knew that couldn't... I mean, I'm not... I knew that couldn't work.
