Another Example of City Council Impotence

I found this tidbit regarding the city and county sharing the new Renaissance Square building interesting:

But Harper said the council should have waited to know the use of the buildings before approving the purchase.

“It is going to be very, very difficult for there to be a real exploration of all possibilities if the city is going ahead with financing today,” he said.

Brown said she supported the financing because she was confident the city administration would make it a priority to put the city police and county sheriff offices in one building.

“It will certainly be a travesty if it didn’t happen,” she said.

Councilwoman Brown isn’t just some citizen bystander in all this. She could actually use her power on council to force the city to put the police and sheriff offices in one building…
