Let's hope that the council members who are waiting
for more information are not simply waiting for the
dust to settle after the latest death and are indeed
truly supportive of public review and accountability. 
This is not an issue that should require another death 
to see council action.  Our collective memories
should not let a decision on this issue to be postponed
indefinitely.
