In a recent city council meeting, Olympia Mayor Doug Mah, in response to a citizen that wanted to speak about the isthmus rezone, said that they could not. The reason he gave was that one of the rules regarding council meetings is that the council does not have to hear public testimony "within" 90 days of a public hearing. The council has a public hearing scheduled on the rezone next month. The rule, as far as I understand it, actually states that the council doesn't have to hear public commentary on an issue for 90 days AFTER a public hearing is held. So what's the deal?

I have a message in to the city that hopefully will clear this up.

Interesting stuff, anybody else listening?

Looks like a great place to build, huh?

Your children can play at the superfund site next door after they build the Children's Museum on it.

The mayor when it's built (not Mah, he'll have abandoned his post to run for state senate by then) will sit about where that island is.

Looks like this site is a regular quack magnet.
