| I think that it would be helpful if we had access to an agenda for the joint convention so that we could see if it contains any additional information about items 4 through 6. It's really difficult to fully understand those without more information. The press release that was in the paper this week about these items wasn't much more help either. I think some that a lot more information needs to be made available about these items before they vote on them, especially the redevelopment authority piece. |
