He relied heavily on staff to respond. Which says a good thing about staff being willing to be there. Bladel gave the ususal stats update, was a good boss by supporting the cops under him. He showed little imagination responded to a citizen's concern about the relationship of the black community with the PD. Malin had plenty to say, but his credibility is nill. He can still talk alot and say nothing. Ald. Hamerlinck added a surprising bit of info about the council not being able to talk about low-income housing or affordable housing during meetings. WHich they have done. What's up with that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12726606.post-1157082845406668172006-08-31T22:54:00.000-05:002006-08-31T22:54:00.000-05:00You're exactly right that the people commenting on...You're exactly right that the people commenting on QCTimes.comments don't have a clue.

This is supposed to be developed by people who actually live in the neighborhoods that are active in problem solving. The process is slow, but they could actually get an advocare downtown. It is just sad that the advocates we elect don't always advocate for us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12726606.post-1156959534969054262006-08-30T12:38:00.000-05:002006-08-30T12:38:00.000-05:00See Ian Frink's blog site for attendeesSee Ian Frink's blog site for attendeesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12726606.post-1156954522797443862006-08-30T11:15:00.000-05:002006-08-30T11:15:00.000-05:00Actually, I have been to several ward meetings whe...Actually, I have been to several ward meetings where Malin has attended.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12726606.post-1156953606078182102006-08-30T11:00:00.000-05:002006-08-30T11:00:00.000-05:00Is that Craig Malin sitting in the back row?

Now I wish I had attended.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
