HERE WE GO Loop-de-Loop!! Catching-Up on Mesa City Council Meetings 18 November 2019

When so few citizens, taxpayers, and members of the public are not involved or un-engaged in the activities or processes in A REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY of their own elected government or even take the time TO EXERCISE THE RIGHT-TO-KNOW, both those who get elected and those who get paid salaries/benefits paid by taxpayers, have the tendency to listen to other special interests who can control them. 
The public has a right (and an obligation) not to stay silent, but first you need to find out what's going on and see what you can from what is provided for you - in fact it is required in THE PUBLIC INTEREST. 

Did you ever wonder to yourself who pulls Mayor John Giles's strings?
Take the time to watch some of the opening minutes in one or both of these public meetings from two weeks ago.
First impressions? Nervousness and body language?
Hizzoner John Giles presides over these public hearings in any way he wants to. . . Watch Johnny-on-the-Spot looking to the left for cues, and getting up jumping-out-of-his-sweat for a new City Magistrate announcement.
Is that OK with you? DOES GILES ASK TO HAVE THE MEETING AGENDA READ-OUT at the start? Public Comments? He says 'blue cards' . . .
Amazing that so few people ever see these streaming videos of their elected government (and salaried city officials) at work - some are part-time and some are full-time.
Any idea what's on the agendas for these two meetings that start in the late afternoon.?

REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING IN THE UPPER CHAMBERS

< Public Information Officer Kevin Christopher reads the Consent Agenda - he's been doing that for years in a bland baritone voice and making more than $145,000 annually.
There's an earlier post on this blog when someone outside of Mesa happened to notice this procedure that appears to be unique to Mesa.
Randy Policar did one fill-in in an earlier public meeting, but KC was back on two weeks ago
