I'll rely on the press to report and follow-up on issues raised at tonight's City Council meeting, but I noticed two oddities:
- Councilor Steve Hutcheson, who owns Off the Wall with his wife Vicki, abstained from voting (known locally as a voice vote of "present") when the Council was asked to approve a chocolate tour next weekend as their business will participate; but Councilor James Shanley did not specify any abstention when reading and approving a proclamation to celebrate Newburyport Preservation Week despite his wife, Karen Battles, being the "vice president of the Newburyport Preservation Trust" &mdash if this Newburyport Current story from March is to be believed.
- What's with the entire School Committee attending this meeting when they weren't included in this week's schedule of public meetings?

Hey! That's my story! What's with the "if this story ... is to be believed?"
All I can say is, she was VP of the group at the time I wrote the story.
Geesh. :)
The Newburyport Preservation Trust is a non-profit organization run totally by volunteers.
