Dean Glaser and Jaison Chand speak on Fortuna sign ordinance at today's City Council meeting to no avail

http://friendlyfortuna.com/ArchiveCenter/ViewFile/Item/1082 Today's Agenda.

Fortuna City Council member Dean Glaser is supporting Allan Dollison. He tried to explain to the staff and city attorney that  at least 1 out of the other 4 people sitting on the dais with him, which includes Mayor Strehl and 3 other city council members need to step down because there is a conflict of interest from them to vote on this ordinance.

Mike Losey,  Sue Long, Tami Trent are all listed as supporters of Maggie Fleming. Mayor Strehl could be a supporter but since her list is partial on website who knows? He claimed he is not supporting anyone.

In a rare moment Mike Losey who is supporting Maggie Fleming, Allan Dollison and Elan Firpo's campaign manager Jaison Chand exchanged pleasantries before the meeting.

The ordinance was passed 4 to 1, Glaser dissenting.

The issue is not the ordinance but the lack of notification, the way it was handled. Watch today's meeting on Channel 10. Free speech and objectivity is well and alive in Fortuna, when convenient. Not to mention their website which is not user friendly and agendas and minutes are uploaded willy-nilly.

Item VI. Business Number C: Adopt Urgency Ordinance 2014-706, Suspending Section 17.05180 (D) (1) (b) of the Fortuna Municipal Code affecting Political Signs, for a period of six months.

From this point on, my reporting will include a personal perspective because I cannot stand bullying and I do not like people who abuse authority, so read with that disclosure. Fortuna City officials, take note, that is how you disclose your intent.

When the time came for this item to be discussed, Mayor Strehl commented, "I did not think it would be so controversial."

The City Attorney then said in addition to the correction from suspending to amending that Strehl mentioned, the line for a period of six months should be stricken.

The City Attorney said "a candidate has signs up". That candidate is Maggie Fleming but he did not mention her name.

The City attorney added that this ordinance was temporary, that the Planning Commission had to look into it and send back recommendations, and it was not about size, just no time frame when signs can go up.

"We don't usually adopt an urgency ordinance because it requires a 4/5th majority and does not require a second reading," said the City Attorney. "This is only valid for 45 days. I don't think the Planning Commission can receive and make recommendations (in this time frame), so in April we will ask you to adopt a 2nd ordinance."

Following so far. Very user friendly right? Logical? Also in front of the camera the City Attorney gave the background information on how this ordinance came about. If you want the real story, read my blog, read comments on other blogs, read Thad Greenson's article, do your own research and put together your own puzzle.

Fortuna City Attorney and Mayor and 3 council members and the City Manager have their version of truth; let us all play the "make it up as we go along game."

More convoluted explanations. This only applies to political signs, not all signs and "we are setting aside a time limit temporarily while we decide what time limit". Make sense? All this will really help the voters decide in a timely manner who they should vote for.

Now, somehow only Maggie Fleming knew of this supposed change, none of the other DA candidates, none of the other candidates running for office and  if you watch this entire item on TV, you will see those who voted in favor snap at Allan Dollison and Jaison Chand and say it is not the City of Fortuna's responsibility to inform the candidates, the candidates need to keep up with these things.

Yeah, in the middle of campaigning, candidates or their supporters should keep an eye on what happens in the City of Fortuna because they might do something of interest. Based on today's borefest meeting which would instantly cure insomnia, why would anyone care what Fortuna is passing. Even the items that did not involve the ordinance were a whole bunch of talk about nothing that only made sense to the inner clique.

I think I have disclosed more times that I am an Elan supporter than the City of Fortuna did about this ordinance change. Where is Peter Martin to cry alleged violation of Brown Act or free speech when you really need him.

Glaser got to speak and he said, "there is a potential conflict of interest of 4 members, sitting on both sides of me" referring to Long, Strehl, Losey and Trent.He pointed out why there was also financial gain. One example was "Mike has been a DA investigator, worked 20 years in the DA's office, could get a part-time or full-time job." He said they should recuse themselves.

Losey retorted, "This is absurd! I have no intention of going back full-time or part-time." Note made Mike, so if Maggie is elected, we will hold you to this public remark.

Strehl tried to spin voting patterns have changed. People vote early and Strehl adamantly said, "I have never endorsed a candidate!" Voting patterns suddenly became relevant this year? I did not know signs were such a crucial part of voter education. Throw away those brochures and buttons candidates, Fortuna has the winning formula.

The City Manager and Attorney piled onto the bully pulpit, all attacking Glaser, and later dissing Dollison and Chand; in fact Losey interrupted during public comment. After all, he did not have ample opportunity to speak.

At this point, they deigned to ask for public comment.

DA Candidate Allan Dollison spoke. One of the points he raised was that in a highly contested race, "Why now? Is it really an emergency?"

Jaison Chand, who is Elan Firpo's campaign manager spoke next. He said while he moved to Eureka a year ago, he is a lifelong resident and still has business interests in Fortuna .  "I am here to get clarification." He said "we only learned of this ordinance change 10 days ago." He said he just learned that is an amendment not a suspension.  And that his biggest concern was not the change but the process. Referring to the unnamed candidate, Chand said, "That candidate knew something we did not know." He said all candidates should have been notified and all 4 DA candidates should have been involved in this decision.

Arnie Klein and his campaign, as usual, were missing in action when it really matters.

Now conveniently, the ordinance defenders once again changed reasons mid-stream and said it was not just about the June election but all elections. And then knowing full well, they had a majority of 4, they passed the ordinance. Justice was indeed served in the democratic process tonight.

Maggie Fleming has elected officials on her partial list of endorsements, she has major law enforcement endorsers, she has County Counsel employees openly endorsing her; her supporters clearly think rules do not apply to her or them.

People accuse Paul of abusing his power. Imagine a candidate who has the backing of elected officials, labor unions, major organizations, law enforcement, County Counsel as your next DA and this behavior above is before the election. You really want 1 person being beholden to all those special interests?

Guess Maggie must really need those signs in Fortuna ahead of time, even though she has been crowned by many as the front runner in this race. This is one of many such actions by Maggie supporters that she has allowed time after time with excuses and why she did not get my endorsement for DA. We need someone who can be fair, not someone who will say and do anything to win.

Where are all the investigative reporters on this story? Ryan, Hank, Kevin, does it have to involve the GPU to be covered? Thad, will you do a follow-up that actually does not let them get away with semantics?

Old Dynamite located in a barn on Chezem Lane

 On 03-14-2014, at approximately 2:00 p .m., the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office was notified by a property owner on Chezem Lane, Redwood Valley that he located three cases of dynamite in a barn. The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office Bomb Squad responded to the scene and confirmed the three boxes contained dynamite.  The dynamite appeared to be very old, and the property owner told the deputies it had been in the barn approximately 40 years or more. The dynamite was wet in appearance and crystalized which indicated it was very unstable. The Bomb Squad Deputies cordoned off the area and called for fire and medical to stage. Over a two day period the deputies were able to render the dynamite safe and dispose of it.

  The Sheriff’s Office Bomb Squad gets two to four calls a year to deal with old dynamite.  According to Sheriff’s Bomb Squad Sergeant Ernie Stewart, “Any friction can cause detonation of old nitroglycerin based dynamite. You never want to touch it or move it. Call 911 immediately if you find it and clear the area. It can be extremely unstable.” 

              

 Anyone with information for the Sheriff’s Office regarding this case or related criminal activity is encouraged to call the Sheriffs Office at 707-445-7251 or the Sheriffs Office Crime Tip line at 707-268-2539.

Death penalty not sought in Bodhi Tree case, trial continued to April 7

Whether the death penalty will be sought or not in the Bodhi Tree case was expected to be revealed this afternoon. Judge Dale Reinholtsen presiding in Courtroom 4. Elan Firpo for the People. Public Defenders Casey Russo and Heidi Holmquist for the defendant.

District Attorney Paul Gallegos made the decision not to seek the death penalty in the Bodhi Tree case. The case is being continued to April 7 because the defense has to provide a report on an expert witness to Ms. Firpo.

The death penalty was one of the issues which was to be discussed today. The other was a jury questionnaire. The defense presented a Trial Readiness packet to the court. Both the defense and prosecution had agreed on the jury questionnaire.

Witness lists had been exchanged. Ms. Firpo told the Court that the Defense intended to have an expert witness and while she had a CD, she did not have the accompanying report. Therefore, Ms. Firpo requested the trial date be continued.

Ms. Holmquist said the report would be given to Ms. Firpo by the end of the week. Both sides agreed on the April 7 date. Judge Reinholtsen noted based on the list of witnesses, this could potentially be a long trial. There was discussion about questionnaires and jury selection.

April 2 is the Trial Readiness date to discuss any outstanding evidentiary issues.

Search for missing woman called in by Fortuna Police Department

On 3-13-2014, at approximately 7:30 p.m., the Fortuna Police Department forwarded a missing person report to the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office. The missing person is Sheila Franks, 37 years old known to live in Rio Dell and Loleta. Her mother called to report her missing, because her family had not heard from Sheila in the last month and a half. Sheila has been very consistent with communicating with her son, which has not occurred for over a month and is very out of character for Sheila. Shelia was last seen in Eureka on 01-11-14.

Sheila Franks is described as: White female, 37 years old, strawberry blond hair, blue eyes, 5’5” tall and approximately 120 lbs.

Anyone with information for the Sheriff’s Office regarding this case or related criminal activity is encouraged to call the Sheriffs Office at 707-445-7251 or the Sheriffs Office Crime Tip line at 707-268-2539.

Miller and Arriaga appointed counsel, future dates set, Miller was suspect held for mental health evaluation

Misty Dawn Miller and Brian Anthony Arriaga  were in court today were appointed counsel. Judge John Feeney presiding in Courtroom 1. Luke Brownfield for the People.

Please see previous post "Attempted burglary arrest results in mental health evaluation" for background information.

Both looked cleaner and healthier and definitely appeared sober.  They sat apart, although that was probably on instruction by the baliff.  See them today, other than the prison garb, they are no different than people you encounter on the streets of Humboldt every day. 

I am not making light of their situation. It is hard to see the effects of drugs and mental health issues and people's lives and in Humboldt, these faces don't disappear in a crowd of people.

Conflict Counsel's office with Kaleb Cockrum representing Arriaga. Not guilty pleas. He was charged with Count 1 residential burglary, Count 2 grand theft, Count 3 public intoxication, Count 4 Misdemeanor vandalism. Today the court set bail of $60,000.

Misty Miller had 2 cases. Public Defender Heidi Holmquist representing her. As Ms. Holmquist got the complaint and was on her way to talk to her client, Ms. Miller attempted to address Judge Feeney about custody credits and Ms. Holmquist had to hush her so she didn't mess her own case up before talking to an attorney.

Miller charged with 1st degree residential burglary and misdemeanor vandalism. Bail in 1 case $60,000 and second case $55,000. 

Both requested a Bail OR hearing which is on March 19; Intervention on March 24 and Preliminary hearing on March 27. Same court dates for both.

As the justice slowly turns in Humboldt: Borgner court update

Today Lance Borgner had Kaleb Cockrum from Conflict Counsel appointed for two more cases with charges filed by District Attorney on March 11. Judge Feeney presiding in Courtroom 1. Luke Brownfield for the People.

We are upto 1/2 dozen cases with a few special allegations thrown in. Counsel appointments, arraignments, resolutions trying to be worked, court procedures, dates to consolidate all cases, not guilty pleas in a nutshell.

Borgner was a bit more serious and focused today , engaging with his attorney, more respectful. Might have to do with a few more days in custody and not being shackled to Shiloh Chase.

Next court date April 2. "As the justice slowly turns in Humboldt", we shall see if there are new developments on that date.

Please see previous posts on this blog for background.

Questions that were asked of DA Candidates in the Tea Party Debate on March 13

1. Regarding infractions involving fines and no jail time versus misdemeanor violations being subject to both 6 months in jail and $1,000 fine, do you believe police officer discretion should be applied before citations, infractions, misdemeanor citations are issued?

2. Violations involving non-human health and safety matters in California require use of misdemeanor citations and can include intimidating arraignment procedure (e.g., violations of California Department of Fish and Game regulations, forest practice laws, and County General Plan land use Ordinances). Do you feel the DA’s office should be involved as soon as the above type of misdemeanor is discovered to pursue an out of courtroom resolution to the matter as soon as possible to avoid costs to the taxpayers before arraignment and courtroom action?

3. Would you support a fiscal amnesty program for innocent violations of the law not involving human heath and safety matters?

4. What steps would you take to combat the increased robberies and home invasions?

5. How do you feel about the potential legalization of Marijuana in the County and in any of the cities within the County? If you are in favor of it, what benefit do you think it would be?

6. How do you feel about the current procedures used to release jail inmates in the middle of the night?  Do you think there should be instances where this practice should continue (e.g., to accommodate anticipated increase of jail inmates due to holiday celebrations)?

7. What kind of relationship do you want to have with the police chiefs and sheriff?

8. How do you feel about the arming of the DA investigators that took place via the Code Enforcement Unit not long ago?  Would you support elimination of those policies in the County?

9. In your opinion, should the Sheriff be the chief law man in the County or the chief law enforcement officer in the County? 

10. What do you think of the death penalty?  Why?

11. Should the DA directly work on a portion of the trials scheduled or should he/she delegate trial workload to Deputy DA’s and focus on office administration? 

12. How many attorneys, paralegals and investigators do you think the DA’s office should have to be a competent smooth running office? 

13. How many hours on behalf of the DA does it take to both run the office and the trial calendars in an efficient, effective  manner?  How many hours are you used to working per week? 

14. If elected, how many years do you see yourself in office? 

15. What is your opinion of the Grand Jury?  Do you agree with County Counsel’s office controlling of which complaints are forwarded to the grand Jury?  Do you agree with County Counsel’s controlling which Grand jury investigation reports are published? What would you do if elected to correct the Grand Jury organization and reporting?

16. What is your plan to discourage the current drug culture in Humboldt County?

I did take notes and it was an hour and half debate. I could try and summarize responses under the questions but in fairness to the candidates, if one can, you should watch it on Access Humboldt.

Reminder about Mad River Union debate this Thursday also presented by Arcata Police Association

Thanks to Richard Bergstresser for this information which he left as a comment on this blog:

This Thursday, 3/20, from 7:00pm to 8:30 pm the Arcata Police Association and Mad River Union are presenting a DA Candidates Forum. It will be at the Arcata Community Center and all 4 candidates will be there. It is open to the public and will be broadcast live on KHSU.

Why Jim Ferguson is supporting Allan Dollison and is his campaign manager, in his own words

For those who do not know Jim Ferguson, in his own words, a bit of background information on him:

"I’ve been a Democrat all my life, beginning with my parents taking me to the Ambassador Hotel in 1968, the night Bobby Kennedy was assassinated. I’ve been in Humboldt County for 25 years now and have worked on both campaigns and issues off and on for that entire time. I’ve held political office, Resort Improvement District Board of Directors, in addition to being Fire Chief of the Shelter Cove VFD. I build a radio station from scratch in Garberville, KBEY 104.7 FM, as well as being involved with the construction of over 35 homes in Shelter Cove. Before I moved to Shelter Cove, I worked for the movie studios in Los Angeles and was as well a freelance journalist and West Coast Editor of the international film magazine Fantastic Films."

   

 Why I was brought into the campaign:

“Allan realized that he needed a professional who had the experience of running a political campaign in Humboldt County and in addition also had a track record of winning.”

Why I agreed to join Allan's campaign:

“I looked at the candidates running for District Attorney and quickly realized Allan had both the leadership capabilities and experience the office needed and, in addition, was an honorable man, one who would uphold the law and not allow politics into the equation of whether or not to prosecute.”

Elan Firpo has requested Paul Gallegos reassign the Ferrer case; this and more at the Arcata Town Hall meeting today

From Elan Firpo:

"I have asked the District Attorney, Paul Gallegos, to reassign the People v. Juan Ferrer case.  

The recent exchanges in the media and misinformed, misguided grandstanding of some of my campaign opponents have mired a very serious and difficult case in politics.   

As a prosecutor, I take seriously both the obligation that all matters be handled based on the facts and the rule of law, and that even that appearance of impropriety from political influence be avoided.  Justice can only be served at this point if it is disentangled from the political campaign."

This is one of the things Elan will be mentioning to day at a Town Hall meeting today from 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm at the Arcata Community Center today. If you have not met Elan, this is a chance for you to talk with her in person, if you are an Elan supporter, go show her moral support. It is not uncommon for other candidates to send their supporters to other candidates' events to try and stack the deck.

This is an opportunity for the public to get to hear about what Elan offers as a candidate for this very important office.

Elan has shown great class and risen above the fray of actions by certain opponents and she is my choice for DA.

Since Access Humboldt is not airing the Tea Party Debate for a while and not everyone has access to that Channel, I will be reprinting the questions asked of all candidates and their responses in a post soon so those who could not attend get a chance to read all 4 candidates' positions on various issues.

Off duty DA investigator thwarts shoplifter at Black Lightning Motorcycle Cafe

DA investigator Tom Cooke was at the BLMC in Old Town. What should have been a coffee run turned into a good deed and he helped thwart an attempted shoplifter.

No arrest. Tom tracked the shoplifter down to the bus stop near Lost Coast Brewery and recovered stolen goods.

The man in question wanders around Old Town with a haircut like Don King so store owners, be on the lookout.

Tom is a friend of mine and Jeff is one of my favorite local business owners.

I spoke with BLMC owner Jeff Hesseltine. The man in question, identified by both Jeff and Tom as Jerry, came in purchased a drink and sat down. He was looking at some T-shirts. No one was paying attention until Tom saw him put something under his jacket. Tom notified Jeff.

While Tom was talking to Jeff, Jerry left the cafe. Jeff checked his video and tracked Jerry down near Old Town Coffee. He asked Jerry if he had taken something. Jerry denied it, even emptied his pockets. Jeff returned to the store and Tom stuck to his story. Jeff checked his video again, he saw Jerry tuck something under his arm and inside his jacket.

Tom asked Jeff if he wanted him to track Jerry down. Tom then rode his motorcycle, spotted Jerry near the Brewery, asked him again about the alleged theft and informed him they had him on surveilance. Tom told Jerry, "I could arrest you or you could return the stolen goods"

At this point Jerry fessed up and returned what he had shoplifted.

No arrest, no paperwork on something that probably would have had no jail time, and hopefully Jerry will think twice before shoplifting.

Kudos to those businesses that have surveillance and to Tom for stepping in and doing the right thing.

"We need to take our streets back," Tom.

Attempted burglary arrest results in mental health evaluation

On 03-12-2014 at about 2350 hours the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office responded to a residence located in the 1700 block of Quaker Street, Eureka, regarding a residential burglary alarm. When deputies arrived on scene they saw a male and female suspect inside of the residence through a bedroom window.  Deputies then detained both of those suspects as they exited the residence. Both of the suspects were carrying items in their hands.

The two suspects were identified as Misty Dawn Miller age 29 and Brian Anthony Arriaga age 33. Deputies were able to contact the owner of the residence, who confirmed that they did not know both of the suspects and they did not have their permission to be in the residence.

The suspects were carrying clothing, keys and a silver bar in their hands that belonged to the owner of the residence. Both suspects were then arrested for Burglary and Grand Theft. Both suspects were transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility where they were booked on those charges. Miller because of the jail matrix for females related to overcrowding was booked and release on her promise to appear in court. Arriaga was held in custody and his bail was set at $50,000 dollars.

On 03-13-2014 at about 1107 hours the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office received a call regarding a suspicious female walking on Park Street, Eureka looking into parked cars and mailboxes and the female suspect had just went to the rear of a residence located in the 3400 block of Park Street. A citizen detained the female suspect prior to the deputies arriving on scene. When deputies arrived on scene they identified the female as Misty Dawn Miller age 29. Deputies learned from talking to witnesses that Miller entered a residence in the 3400 block of Park Street, through a rear sliding glass door that was left unlocked. Deputies checked the residence and could not see any signs that anything was stolen from the residence. The victim of the residence was contacted and Miller did not have permission to enter the residence. Park Street in located next to Quaker Street.

When Deputies spoke to Miller about entering the residence she admitted that she had, because she was looking for her daughter and heard her daughter’s voice coming from inside the residence. After speaking to Miller further, deputies determined that Miller was having mental health issues. Miller was then transported to Humboldt County Mental Health for a 72 hour mental health evaluation. The Sheriff’s Office placed a  hold on Miller at mental health. When Miller is cleared at mental health she will be booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility for attempted burglary. The Sheriff’s Office will request that Miller’s bail be increased and that she be held in custody. 

Tea party debate not the big news, Allan Dollison's campaign manager is the real scoop

Only Thad Greenson from Northcoast Journal and myself were there as media. Access Humboldt filmed the first debate and I would like to thank the Humboldt Tea Party for recording the event. I liked the format. It was well moderated by Joe Bonino and not having audience ask questions or cheer and boo was good Each candidate got to speak and I would urge as many people as possible to watch this debate.

I have not decided if I will post highlights or summary. I definitely have my opinions not just about the candidate I support but how others did tonight. I was very proud of Elan.

The big news is that Jim Ferguson is Allan Dollison's campaign manager.

Fortuna sign ordinance up for passage on March 17, City of Fortuna says no complaints about signs but mum on whether signs were up

 Fortuna City Clerk Linda Jensendid confirm that the item on political signs was tabled on March 3 because not all City Council members were present, and will go before the entire city council on March 17.

So the Council has not yet met and suspended the ordinance on signs. There are people who said that signs were up and they heard people were complaining.  This was last night.

I could not reach anyone at the City of Fortuna until today. When I talked to Fortuna City Manager Regan Candelario, he said there have been no complaints. They would look into the matter, if there had been complaints. No comment on whether signs were up or not.

Again, when Maggie has 2 supporters on Fortuna City Council, I think there is a conflict of interest.  I have disclosed many times that I am an Elan supporter. This is unfair to the other 3 candidates.

I never get any comment from Maggie's campaign. That is their choice.

Were there signs or not? And whoever did complain needs to come forward because at this point it is just he said, she said. And if signs were up, they could have been removed.

So facebook likes without any definite trace are a big deal, but this is a non-issue? Why don't we see any other media doing a story on 2 Fortuna City Council members voting on an issue that affects a candidate they support?

All 4 DA candidates qualified and will be on the ballot

Just confirmed with the Elections Office.

Allan Dollison was at the HCDCC meeting last night. I am not a Democrat so while I did not attend,  I have had few people call and say they were impressed with him.

Enjoyed Mark Grimes letter in the Times-Standard today. He does represent that group that has not made up their mind yet.

And I think if all campaigns were objectively to look at feedback, that group is significant in this race.

Meth, marijuana and guns in POP bust

I knew it was too quiet today.

On 03/12/13, at 2:15 p.m., detectives with the Eureka Police Department’s

Problem Oriented Policing Unit (POP) served a search warrant in the 2800

block of Spring Street in Eureka.

During the service of the search warrant, detectives confiscated a loaded

sawed off shot gun with the serial number removed, three semi-automatic

pistols (one of which had the serial numbers removed), one revolver, 

marijuana possessed for the purpose of sales, drug paraphernalia,and

 a small quantity of suspected methamphetamine.  Also inside the residence

 was cash totaling $3,200 which was believed to be the proceeds from drug

sales.

Arrested at the scene were:

Uriah Koda Easley, 23, H&S 11377(a) Possession of Methamphetamine

                                        H&S 11350(a) Possession of a Narcotic Controlled

                                         Substance 

                                        H&S 11359   Possession of Marijuana for the Purpose of

                                        Sales

  Isaiah Rei Easley, 21,   PC 23900   Removal of the Mark of Identification

                                      from a Firearm

                                        PC 33215   Possession of a Short Barreled Shot gun                               

  H&S 11364 Possession of Drug Paraphernalia

  H&S 11359  Possession of Marijuana for the Purpose of Sales     

 Both brothers were booked in to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility.

Frequent flier Shiloh Chase gets another slap on the wrist

Four cases for Shiloh Chase were up for Disposition and Rest this afternoon in Judge Feeney's court. Luke Brownfield for the People and Public Defender Heidi Holmquist for Chase.

The two parties came to an agreement. People reduced count 1 to a misdemeanor, which meant both charges in 1 case were now misdemeanors: vehicle theft and possession of a controlled substance (meth). Other cases involved violation of probation. Shiloh changed his plea to guilty; probation was revoked and he had to pay a few fines but authorized for release to a treatment program designee or probation.

A few fines, a little jail time. People did not ask for restitution today, reserved for future.

I am sure this time he will complete and maintain treatment. I am sure he won't commit another crime while on probation.

Shiloh looked cool and relaxed before his case was called, after all he knew there are never any real consequences.

Maggie signs up in Fortuna already?

Thought this item was being voted at a future meeting on March 17?

So are there signs up when the ordinance has not yet been suspended.
