Plaza Protest Resolution Coming to PSCR&H

Council President Johnson's resolution to make it harder for protestors to exercise their free-speech rights on City-owned plazas did not pass last Friday's Council meeting.  Instead, the Council referred it back to committee, where an action that substantive should really start.

The resolution comes before the Council's Public Safety, Civil Rights and Health committee on Wednesday.  Interestingly, as Vice Chair of the committee, I will be chairing in Council Member Don Samuels' absence, and there will be an opportunity for members of the public to comment provided.

I will vote against this resolution at committee.  However, I fear that there are the votes on the committee to send this forward to the full Council.
