How does this continue to happen with this council? Perhaps at the beginning of the pandemic technological excuses were appropriate, not 20 months in. Interesting that the Library/meeting facility was swarming with people wearing necklace badges + out front of the council meeting were three news trucks (NBC/Telemundo, KTLA and another) with crews + the PDC was hosting a crew and running cables. What were the technical issues that kept our city government from doing they’re jobs this time?
