Watch the teevee, ask some questions

Thursday afternoon at 5:00 we cable junkies got to watch the continuation of this week's city council meeting. The main events were the first reading of the formal ordinance creating the Environment Commission from the Environment Committee and the first reading of the Tree Ordinance.

Questions

1) What's up with Rachel Carson-Longrie dominating the discussion when an actual environmentalist who actually created the Environmental Committee was sitting just a few chairs down the council table?

2) What's creating such a big rip to get the tree ordinance done that Rachel Carson-Longrie has to accuse the staff person of stalling (didn't catch his name) for wanting more public input?

3) Do Rachel Carson-Longrie and the Forest Gnome even know what "sustainable practices" means?

4) Will anyone rush to volunteer to serve on this new Commission? That didn't go so well with the Housing and Redevelopment Authority earlier in the week.


5) Will developers discover the tree house market?
