Apparently there are always two sides to a story George :)

Bratina first learned of the motion when it was presented at the very end of a nine-hour committee meeting. He said he’s open to a more formalized governmental affairs policy, but disagreed with -how the motion was brought forward.- “I had never seen that before, and it had a -lot of implications- on how the mayor’s office should conduct its business. So it would have been fair to advise me of it,” he said.

"It passed almost unanimously, with Bratina and clrs Russ Powers and Maria Pearson opposed. Several councillors were absent from the vote."

Total vote count: 16 Opposed: 3 Balance: 13

"Several councillors were absent from the vote."

How many?... and, why were they absent from such a drastic motion (made without citizen consultations), which can impact the way this city is run.

There is far more to this story that yet remains to told of the intent, method and madness of this motion.

I am sure, the 'Ball' will be in Terry's court by tomorrow morning.

George, as stated earlier:

For good communication to evolve in Hamilton, first we must put a decisive stop to wild interpretations and wilder conclusions of events, utterances and expressions, [and motions] which then are immediately followed by media swarming that puts everyone on the defensive.
