Lots of people, so the thoughts, opinions and feelings of LOTS of people must be heard! Does an issue like this have to be a life-threatening emergency before big numbers of citizens show up? The contest is cool, but Madonna laying across railway tracks would draw the masses. (Forgive my L.A. publicity mentality, I can’t help it.)

Without knowing anything beyond your somewhat terse statement, I’ll say only that you might be taking this a touch too seriously. This isn’t really a “contest” as you call it, but rather more a simple attempt to encourage a few more folks to spend their Tuesday night at the Council than might otherwise be inclined to do so.

I am staunchly against the OAC as currently envisioned.

I have spoken against the OAC at previous sub-committee hearings, and I plan to do so again at full council.

I also firmly believe this contest is a horrible idea.
