The Observation Deck

I'm sure this has probably been brought up more than once in the The Deck's long and illustrious existence ... but ... a recent thread here implied that there are many many many important legislative-related issues to be addressed by City Council and some may be falling to the wayside.

So I ask (again?) ... should seats on Lakewood City Council be full-time position (with appropriate salaries)?

I'm not advocating either way. Just tossing it our there.

For which city?

It has been talked about many times. I am for giving council members $150,000 a year, for salary, staff, neighborhoods, whatever.

It would be fascinating observing what they did with the money?

.

If they sit in the same seats that aloud the demolition of the Hilliard Theater and so many other historic Lakewood properties, I wouldn't give them the time of day, not a dime, get out of town, my town. Move to Gordon Square, Tremont, Ohio City, North Olmsted, sit on their seat, you wont last an hour.

Well maybe North Olmsted
