the vulnerable recipient was city council in an indirect way. Let me explain before you blow up. All of the misinformation was greedily swallowed up by the generally uninformed general public who formed an opinion based on faulty information. The level of screaming by both sides was received by the public and there was little chance that any reasonable logical well thought out opinions would be formed but rather 2 equal and vocal radical groups began to swell until they reached a point of critical mass that even the disinterested formed a rigid position devoid of reason. Since this is a political process council members who might be inclined to listen and base their decisions on fact had no choice but to weight the political ramifications of appeasing the ugly electorite. Thats why any decision was delayed until after the election. All sides recognized it was political suicide to act on the issue during an election campaign. This process was doomed to the special interests framing the debate early on and the reactions that caused which ultimately led to an engaged city divided equally making a resolution impossible
