Some business people avoid meetings, and a lawyer has offered some solutions.
The constant contentious approach, in my view, is destructive to the city and the citizens. Call it a rift, disagreement or good, old-fashioned political debate. No matter what the name, the tension is palpable in City Hall. We would get more done, we would play a bigger leadership role in the city if there was more of a meeting of the minds of the council and the mayor. Residents have noticed, too.
