Thank you writing about this, Elaine. The Mayor’s response to public comment was a version of “calm down,” unsurprisingly. Meanwhile we watched Commissioner Tully function as if he is pro tem, with Mayor ignoring Commissioner Gilmartin each time deferring to Tully to speak first, and frankly Commissioner Gilmartin should be in the seat immediately beside Mayor based on his term.
By the way - governance was already on the Council agenda. Commissioner Tully bringing it up as if he was being magnanimous and it was his idea - pure political theater.

Your attention to detail and ability to keep your eye on the numerous balls always in play is stellar! Thanks for the info!
