Having been alive now for 88 years, I think that the one thing that politicans do not like , is a person asking questions that require an answer. No matter what the problem is, or the question being asked is, the politicans seem to believe that no answer is necessary.
Seems to me that politicans have been advised by their respective attorneys, that questions need not be answered, only official inquiries for public records need be responded to.
When a city council has a meeting, regardless of the subject matter, and the length of material presented by the staff, that a citizen can only comment on the matter for 3 minutes, or the arbitrary limit in time set by the rules.
That way the City Officials are not burdened with a lot of information that requires reply and can just do as they wish. How many times have I sat through a meeting and watch the city council listen to the public as they read the staff reporrs, and then do not respond.
It seems that they do not want any discussion about the problems, just want to take the words of the staff as gospel.
You would think that people in those positions would realize the the presenter for the motion almost always have financial things in mind when the talk, and the public might be the only people who can contradict the other side. Ah, but that would require consideration of the views of the public.
Need I repeat my self.
