Plainfield's City Council meets in a special session at 7:00 PM this evening in the City Hall Library.
The primary business will be taking up the Council's response to
Mayor Sharon Robinson-Briggs' veto of three ordinances unanimously
passed by the Council on December 10.
The ordinances would assert Council control over permitting outdoor
events such as carnivals, including the setting of daily permit fees,
45-day pre-event registration, and other conditions.
The ordinances were in response to the fuss stirred up by a carnival
permitted by Mayor Robinson-Briggs on very short notice at Hannah Atkins
Playground in October.
In order to rescind the Robinson-Briggs' veto, the Council will have to
pass override resolutions by a two-thirds majority of the full governing
body (5 votes).
Additionally, there are ceremonial resolutions of condolence for the
loss of Joe Gutenkauf and DPWUD Director Jackson's uncle Clarence
Walker.

We will see tonight if we have any real council people who care about Plainfield or if they really are the political hacks they have shown themselves to be in the past. Pay special attention to those I call the mayor's three stooges. Will we have four stooges come January?
The mayor's vetos pf all those ordinances were overturned--UNANIMOUSLY! Congratulations to all the Council members.
