Overall, about as much detail and apparent preparation from the Tree Commission as the Police and Fire Commission. Why Fire, by the way? Shorten the title, for goodness’ sake — you’re wasting valuable electrons every time you type a commission title that, by your own practice, requires no conjunction.
On Thursday and Friday, I’ll post on Whitewater’s drug enforcement efforts, and the Citizen Police Academy.
