It is not too surprising that oral communication has finally been moved to the end of the City Council meeting, since it’s been in the works, off and on, for years (“Mayor Drayman faces first salvo,” Thursday).
This move will undoubtedly lessen public comment, which is probably OK since not much attention is paid to those not financially well-off enough to foster new high-rises, new condos, increases in city management salaries, public land giveaways and so on.
In Glendale, and probably in other cities, open government is without meaning and is merely two words.
