		<description><![CDATA[Today at 2pm, the Common Council will vote on whether to issue a permit to the Stillwater for a patio. The proposed patio, which will face onto Virginia Place, has been adamantly opposed by immediate neighbors and activists throughout Allentown, many of whom have fought nightclub patios in their own backyards. The city&#8217;s Preservation Board [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Masten District Councilmember Demone Smith&#8217;s other letter this week is a bit of a whine. In it, he asks Council President Dave Franczyk why only the five members who comprise the council&#8217;s majority coalition are allowed to take part in the hiring of council staff. He asks why the other four are left out in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Masten District Councilmember Demone Smith has filed two interesting letters with the Common Council this week. The first relates to Cariol Horne, the Buffalo police officer who recently was dismissed (and as a result lost her pension) after a lengthy and much-publicized discipline case. Smith thinks justice may have been a little too blind in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As promised here, we&#8217;re posting the Common Council of Buffalo&#8217;s 2008-2009 Action Plan. (God knows why.) Seriously though, it&#8217;s worth a quick scan. My favorite part is at the beginning, in which we learn what the Romans had in common with Buffalonians.
Have you guessed it yet?
Both sacked their own cities:

The previous Friday, the Common Council had released its annual action plan, and Smith complained he&#8217;d been given inadequate time to review that plan and had not received a personal invitation to take part [...]]]></description>

This may sound like a dull, wonkish enterprise, but it&#8217;s not: It&#8217;s a pleasant excuse to visit the Common Council&#8217;s beautiful chambers, and anyone can speak. I will be there no later than 6pm to listen to [...]]]></description>

Developer Carl Paladino is a terrific (and prolific) letter writer. This week we have two from him. The first letter is a response to this article in the March 13 AV by George Sax. The article is not about Paladino at all—it&#8217;s about Empire Zone benefits being extended to a project by the Kissling Interests [...]]]></description>
