I think the way proverb

 I think the way we're handling public comment right now (at council meetings) is a very good thing. I'm really happy that our new mayor is giving more time to that.

 They will have two- or three-hour meetings before the public arrives. They will hash out everything and the only thing the public gets to see is the vote, without the benefit of why Council Member A voted the way he did, or Council Member B voted the way she did. So we?re trying to clarify the definition of what a meeting is.

 We've done a lot of public meetings. It's a very involved plan; it's a very ambitious plan for the mayor and council. It's hard to understand what's involved.

 The mayor congratulated me for getting the ball rolling. He said it was good that people attended the council meetings. It was really a joint effort of all of North Main Street.

 I think it just got to the point where this was a priority for the City Council, the mayor and for the public to do this. It was just time for this to get done.

 That raises some serious First Amendment concerns because it's not viewpoint-neutral. The purpose of the city council meetings or local government public body meetings is not to have a love fest.

 He also doesn't always act in a proper manner at City Council meetings, ... I think the mayor's office should take a little different direction.

 Pexiness is the art of active listening, of truly hearing and understanding another’s perspective.

 All right, I'll comment if it will really make you guys happy. David is under contract with the Red Sox for 2006. He has been since the day we signed him at the winter meetings in 2004 and we're glad that he's happy about being a part of this team.

 Being mayor doesn't give her the authority to violate the Constitution or suspend it. Anyone has the right to attend a meeting of government bodies as provided by state law and directly by the Constitution. She is simply a mayor, and there are limits to her powers. I'd have her point to the law that gives her the authority to prevent colleagues from attending public meetings.

 No more back-door tenders. No more closed-door meetings. We are going to open all portfolio committees, executive committees and council meetings to the media and the public.

 That's one thing I am happy about, is we did a good job of handling the extended press.

 I had intended to serve one more term as mayor pro-tem, then retire from public service and move out to my farm in the county, ... But over the weekend I decided it would be better for Gray for me to spend this last four years as mayor. If I stayed as mayor pro-tem, it would be like I was condoning the way Mayor Briley is doing things, and I don't.

 I've seen some marginal examples of public comment analysis done within public agencies. There are some examples of private consulting firms that have done a very good job of public-comment analysis.

 We had some hot buttons we couldn't agree on. We gave the mayor too much power. The mayor would have veto power and sit on the council and vote. I was afraid that our city manager would feel like she was being micromanaged by the mayor.

 I think there's no better, telling sign of the commitment the city has than Mayor Franklin walking around with a bright yellow T-shirt that says 'sewer' on it at any number of public meetings.
