Or a Florida school board meeting where hours are spent debating which book to pull from the shelves next.

Yep. Broadening the tax base by bringing in opportunities like this will spread the cost of city services among more taxpayers, thereby preventing substantial tax increases.

Exactly. I'm very happy that the incumbent mayor is actually doing _something_ about the severe lack of housing. Is it perfect? No. But he'll do way better of a job than his opponent who is being supported by the local NIMBY group.

Have to grease the wheel to get anything done in this state!

The networks are to blame, too. They charge ever increasing fees. The local channels don't necessarily see more revenue as a result and many of the staff are poorly compensated.

1. Don't hold a party in public view where police can easily witness the unlawful activity taking place.
2. If the police come knocking due to a complaint regarding said party, quietly have guests put any alcohol out of view.
3. Come to the door, exit the house, and close the door behind you before talking to the cops.
4. Respectfully decline if the police ask to come in to investigate. If there is no warrant or exigent circumstance, it may be unlawful for them to enter.
5. Don't talk to the police beyond asserting your rights.

I'm asthmatic and think there should be some kind of mechanism to protect everyone's use of a public space. In sufficiently large parks, having a designated area (e.g, maybe move a few picnic tables and designate them as a cannabis smoking area) would suffice to protect everyone's use of the space.
