Today,
at 10 a.m., City Council was supposed to continue with tax reform
hearings. My son Scott was interested, and I wanted to go with him,
thinking I
hadn't done enough recently for this issue, which is important
to me. At 9:45,
I called Councilman Kenney's office to confirm that
the hearing was going to
take place - yes, they said, at 10:00, in Council
chambers.
When we arrived, we were told that the hearing had now been
rescheduled for
noon! With a bit of grumbling, we got back on the
trolley and came to my
office in Powelton to do a little work. At
11:45, we got back on the trolley and
arrived at City Hall again at noon -
only to find that the hearings had now
been changed to 2 p.m. This
time, we ran into a woman I know, who was going to
be attending on behalf
of the company for which she works, so she gave me her
cell phone number
so I could check in with her about the 2 p.m. time rather
than taking the
trolley again without confirmation.
>blah, blah, blah
We
need tax reform now! Why won't they hear us?

Maybe somebody tipped them off that you were planning to attend?
