Bloggers' Holiday

Monday's City Council meeting will be rescheduled to March 20 due to council members' attendance at a National League of Cities conference in Washington, D.C. from March 8 to 12. Bloggers will neither have to pester the Reference librarian at Plainfield Public Library for the packet nor to hear one more thing about Legal Shield Monday.

Considering that the council members agreed to attendance at the conference on Jan. 27, it seems to me they could have planned accordingly and not rescheduled so late. People who have an interest in business that was to be conducted Monday, or who wanted to comment on items from the March 3 agenda-fixing session before they come up for a vote, may not see a last-minute legal notice over the weekend.

When asked on Jan. 27 who wanted to go, several of the seven council members raised their hands, prompting this writer to ask during public comment whether the speakerphone could handle it. The use of the speakerphone for participation of members not present has become increasingly common, but not for more than two at a time.

The council will also reschedule to March 20 an advertised public hearing on the Comcast franchise renewal.

Those who will be attending the conference are Councilwomen Vera Greaves and Gloria Taylor and Council President Bridget Rivers.
