Final Thought

At a meeting with downtown merchants this morning to discuss his Sherman Avenue botanical garden proposal, The Duane didn’t like a bizman’s suggestion that the matter be put to a vote of the people. The bizman figured the project would have too big of an impact on the community to be decided by elected City Council reps who often are viewed to be in The Duane’s back pocket. Responded The Duane (according to my spies): That’s not why they were “hired, er, elected.” I kid you not. Freudian?
