Mr. Foster reports that his hair is still safe
In response to my post earlier today, departing St. Petersburg City Council member Bill Foster just called to say that at the end of last evening's council meeting, he did in fact bring up this new memo. Foster asked for confirmation that the council had committed to designating Al Lang as a park.
The video is not up on the city's web site yet, but Foster said that the other council members agreed that designating the Al Lang site as a park was the plan... if so, then either the city staff will have to go along with the council's firmly expressed wishes, or else the council will have to be, you know, persuaded otherwise.
Foster told me that as far as he was concerned, the council HAS been through a public process, and the public said it wanted Al Lang as a park.

Welcome to TroxBlog, the web-home of columnist Howard Troxler, where he and readers discuss his column topics and current events. The goal here is to focus on the merits of issues, instead of personal attacks or knee-jerk partisanship.
Can we shave him anyway just out of principle?

That previous comment wasn't very funny. Actually I did laugh. Merry Christmas to all.
