The others were not given the information until they sat down for the meeting.� I have strong objections to not treating every commissioner the same.� Since leadership already knew they had the majority, I don't see what's wrong with advance notice for everyone.
I agree - and this is the part which is so mysterious to me. If you have five votes, you're going to win anyway -- it costs you nothing to be courteous and follow proper procedures.
The criticisms (both implied and direct) from Bob Fine and others about the obstructionist nature of the 4-member minority don't wash with me. Even if these criticisms are correct, an open process is for the benefit of the public, not for the benefit of other park commissioners.
I also want to second Brian Melendez's fine post on this topic.
Truly a historic low point in the history of the Park Board.
