Aaron, is this meeting open to the public? Will it be televised on the City Gov't station?

I remember a city council meeting a few months back where over 300 people showed up to speak about the ballpark issue. Does this venue have that kind of space?

I suggest they hold every single meeting at Al Lang. Too hot? Too bad.

Great idea about using Al Lang for these meetings...we can check out the parking issues; real time heat index; no worries on having enough seating; and when the sessions get boring, we can watch the sailboats on the bay. Great site for the all ABC meetings.

The reason it's in Clearwater is to keep the St Pete gadflies away.

Who cares? They have NO authority to do anything! They can play tiddly winks-in fact, their respective companies might do better if they did. Certainly, Progress Energy can't do any worse after laying off hundreds of employees and jacking the utility rates!! PSC should investigate how many luxury suites Progress Energy leases. And, how does that help the public?

How Come?????

Why are they meeting in Clearwater?????

Everything they do does not make sense.
