Here we go again Town of Ruston v Point Defiance Cafe and Casino round two or is it three. A comment on this blog alluded to a lawsuit and claim for damages from lawsuit number one.
Amazing how easy it is to file lawsuits using the Town's money. Refer to previous post TACK OR TACKY TIME for details on damages and following posts on the original lawsuit. Only benefit I can see is the town attorney gets richer and the Town and Casino get poorer.
Anyway in their new school house digs it is almost impossible to hear what they are saying for persons with hearing disabilities. So reporting on this council meeting will be limited. CDs of the meetings run $5 to $10 dollars plus two trips to the Town Hall.
1. Ordinance 1316 - Amending Ch. 5.02 of the RMC to prohibit House-Banked Social Card Games within the Town of Ruston, subject to and contingent upon passage of a referendum to the voters of the Town (first reading)
Hearing on this is spotty some voices I can hear snippets others nothing even sitting in the front row center.
Hedrick- Need study session public comment.
Hardin- Why Town?
Hunt- Strike second paragraph "Whereas...". Passes 5-0.
Hardin- Permanent ban or moratorium.
Hedrick- No flip flop to voters.
