Pepper's wants to be healthy
The city has started a Healthy RC dining program, an effort to get local restaurants to serve good-for-you items. During the public hearing on the fate of Pepper's Mexican Restaurant last night, the owner indicated that he might participate in the Healthy RC initiative.
Last year, the Planning Commission wanted to take away Pepper's ability to serve distilled spirits because it had been operating outside of its permit. People were getting arrested for public intoxication, the bartender served to drunk patrons and the bouncer got into a nasty brawl. Not so healthy.
My what a difference a couple of months have made. My suggestion: Ditch the bouncer and serve veggie quesadillas with whole wheat tortillas. Very healthy.
The City Council, by the way, gave Pepper's a second chance and overturned the Planning Commission's decision. What do you think? A healthy decision?

Was there a healthy debate?
Sadly, no, David. Mayor Kurth was absent and I think the other council members thought they talked enough at the March meeting. Kinda hard to quote people when they don't talk.
