On the stun guns, and that person who spoke earlier, finding a way not to kill people, thats called a stun gun. Please get with it. Thank you. President turman any other Public Comments on items not on the agenda . As you well know, i sent you all a letter you received about cure and correct because the vote on tazers was illegal, according to the brown act. And also, by the way, it does say in the brown act as well that you can address employees of the of the city during meetings, as long as it connects to the work that theyre doing, so at all these meeting when you keep saying that you cant do that, its not true, and i hope you look that up. This is what the brown act says the people of the state do not yield their sovereignty to people. The people in delegating authority do not give their servants the authority for them to know whats good for them to know and whats not good for them to know. President ure man, i sent you an email. I appreciate very much what you stated at the meetin
