Council catches Obama fever

Drama-free agenda + Obamania = hour-long council meeting.

Apart from a scintillating discussion of solid-waste franchising (apparently 40+ outfits hauling trash means a lot of big, polluting trucks) the council hardly met Monday.

At least three members beat a hasty exit to share a moment with presidential candidate, Sen. Barack Obama.

Councilmen Chris Holden, Steve Madison and Mayor Bill Bogaard were at the fund raiser where Barack reportedly introduced Bill with an enthusiastic "Give it up for Bill Bogaard!"

Trash talk. The city generates trash and trucks pick it up. If it is one company or 40 that is the way it is going to be, lots and lots of trucks. So more regulation? Drives out the little guy. Limits competition. Rates go up. That is a win win win.
Victor Gordo then talked about how he met John Madden.
