WEEK 27 - Day 1

Mike and I have had a bunch of phone calls and emails asking us what we're going to do next.

The answer is ... nothing.

It's over.

The Supreme Court ruled that the City Manager had the authority/power all along to do whatever she wanted, with or without even Council's approval. 

The Supreme Court ruled that as long as money has been appropriated (which it was), and if an action/decision falls within the responsibility of the City Manager (which, per the Codified Ordinances is basically everything having to do with running the city), no approval -- from Council or from the residents -- is needed.

There are some bigger-picture implications for this.

We'll leave it to you to noodle on them.
