The meeting starts at 7 p.m. When SCAD came before the council in August, the proponents saw so many opponents in the room, they asked for a delay of ninety days and a “task force.” Their request was granted. The effect of this was to ride the opponents off their peak and to push the decision past the election and take the pressure off the council members who were candidates. The task force met, but accomplished nothing – the proponents didn’t want to accomplish anything. More on that in the attached piece “About SCAD The Task Force.”<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We need to produce as many opponents’ e-mails to council as we can.
