Tonight's meeting ended with two major decisions.  First, the Sims Bowl purchase was defeated 7-1 with Alderman Higgason the only supporter.  Thank you to all of the 3rd Ward residents who joined us for the discussion.  Your presence was felt, your voices were heard, and your efforts made a real impact. 

Secondly, the Council considered whether to allow retail alcohol sales in gas stations.  You can ready my position in a post on The Discussion and leave your own thoughts to continue the dialogue.  In the end, the measure passed 5-4 (I voted against the proposal - opposing the expansion of alcohol sales into gas stations).  The Mayor's tie-breaking vote passed the ordinance.
