PERITOPIA!

So, after losing power last night because someone “ran into a power line” (hate it when that happens), I wake up to read this:

>>A heated debate about how to balance the county budget ended abruptly Tuesday, with the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors having taken no action after almost four hours of discussion.  Chairwoman Carre Brown passed her gavel and invoked “the 5:30 rule,” a locally adopted procedural rule that allows a board member to summarily end the meeting.  ”I think we’re at a stalemate,” Brown said. “And I think it’s going to get nasty if we go on further.”<<  Supervisors\’ budget discussion turns tense

All I can say is, they should go global with the 5:30 rule.  In case you are new to this blog, getting nasty is, in fact, a crime in Northern California.
