Administration Sandbags City Council
Posted by Jeff Pruitt - 10/28/08 @ 3:57 pm - Filed Under City Council
Once again the administration will sandbag city council by providing them last minute information the day of the meeting. I’m told the city will be presenting a response from the various department heads that would explain how the individual council cuts would affect their departments.
In general this is a good information. But by handing out the information at the last minute they hope to sandbag the councilmembers so they don’t have time to research the responses and come up with intelligent questions and rebuttals.
As an outsider it seems to me that this is becoming a standard tactic used by the administration…

I would be interested in knowing how often this happens; this information clearly should be given to council as soon as it is available and not the day of the Council meeting.
