I sent my first question to a local city councilman. He responded with a very clear answer and we had a short email discussion. Wow.

Turns out he is now the Vice Chairman of the Council and slated to become the Chairman. I liked him before and more now.

The question was about some misinformation that a city employee provided during a televised advisory meeting regarding "Christmas bonuses". I used to watch these meetings a lot and might need to see more of them.
