Letter: City Council Meeting of September 3 By Christopher Rowe Last night I walked downtown to attend the Columbia City Council meeting. I'm a newly arrived (returned, really) citizen and have always taken an active interest in local governance wherever I have lived. I would like to tell you what I what I saw. In brief, I witnessed the people's business being done judiciously, thoughtfully, effectively, and even with good cheer. To expand, I saw a Mayor and Council who, when they were not already thoroughly educated on an issue under discussion, asked cogent questions and shared energetic deliberations. When different opinions or options were raised on a given agenda item, those differences were resolved with discussion, not argument, with reason, not impulsiveness. Across a number of issues ranging from the hopeful (a study of possible structural remediations on the treasured Trabue-Russell House) to the sadly troubling (action needed on derelict properties), the Mayor and each Council Member was always engaged, curious when curiosity was called for, concerned, or even troubled, when the issue was concerning. It was, simply, exemplary. I can only hope that example will be followed by other local leaders. This story was posted on 2024-09-04 09:45:49
