Tonight's fairly light City Council meeting agenda.pdf includes a Proclamation.pdf designating September 17th-23rd as Constitution Week in the City of Park Ridge.
Oh goody.
We're eagerly looking forward to hearing if Alderman Don Bachtard (3rd ward), Park Ridge's very own Constitutional UNscholar, has any more constitutional law analysis ready for everyone to marvel at.
In other observable ironies, the PRU Crew notes that the final, second reading of an ordinance for a stop sign (Broadway stopping for Cherry) is on tap under the Public Works agenda line item. Stop signs being a matter of safety, one has to wonder why the City Council didn't forgo the usual two readings of this ordinance. After all, at their last meeting the City Council did consider it a matter of great urgency to forgo the usual two readings of an ordinance for a text amendment change to the zoning code; but then, that change was for the client of one of Mayor Howard's special friends and contributors -- Jack "the Zoning Czar" Owens.
Pay attention!

I'm sick of the "Stop means stop" signs which nobody pays any attention to, but then Bach wants to put red light cameras all over for safety but really for revenue. And I have no idea why the rules seem to change for Jack Owens. I was there the night of the PADS discussion back in July, and he was standing way up front behind the council members, past the sign that says that nobody can go beyond that point. So Owens must really be a special guy, no?
Mr. Owens is a very $pecial friend of the Mayor's.
Very very special.
