Come on.. this should be public

I know it's "big and sexy" but it's also
absurd to even take the time

Why is this subject coming up 4years before the event?If anything is discussed beside price and terms of payment, the meeting will violate the Brown Act, the actions will be illegal, and the City will be embarrassed world wide. Let’s have the whole deal discussed at an open meeting The public has a huge interest in so many important parts of the deal! Stan Epstein.310 393 7619 Sent from my iPad
