Buttongate

Aaron Proctor is incensed after one of several Pasadena council members returned-to-sender a button Aaron sent out as a "peace offering."

He sends buttons
Aaron's subsequently issued his own brand of fatwa on District 6 Councilman Steve Madison, threatening to never discuss Madison or District 6 again on his blog unless Madison apologizes.

Am I the only one for whom that threat seems sort of ... counterproductive? <.<

For Safety's Sake

I had been wondering why we need a YAC (yet another committee) to develop some strategery for countering gang/youth/interracial violence, when the city already has a Public Safety Committee.

Then I saw the agenda for today's meeting of that committee:

4. NEW BUSINESS
A. Bridge Inspection After an Emergency
B. Annual Commission Report – July 2006 Through June 2007 and Work Plan for 2007 - 2008:
(1) Pasadena Public Library Commission*
(2) Recreation & Parks Commission*

5. OLD BUSINESS
A. Update on Dog Breeding Issues
B. Update on Humane Society

6. INFORMATIONAL ITEM
A. Review and Discussion of Future Committee Calendar*
