Falling Out
Dear Readers,
What did you do on YOUR summer vacation? Your Gilbert went off-planet for most of the summer, and did not once think about Takoma Park or how we might bring back some alien practice or idea to improve it. Not so the city council! At the first meeting of the fall, they vied to out brownie-point each other by suggesting city government wonkery they'd like to transplant here from their vacation spots such as Maine, Cape Cod, and Costa Rica.
Clearly our overly dedicated elected officials did not get enough rest this summer - as further evidenced by the turgid, sometimes tense discussion at the Sept. 2 council meeting.
