“Obviously I’m opposed to this … but my biggest concern is the limit to two hours. Two hours is two hours, it doesn’t say … at least 40 speakers can speak,” said Commissioner Bill O’Dea (D-2) at this afternoon’s caucus meeting, which lasted about an hour.
He explained that for example, if one speaker is given an extra minute to speak, the meeting is then cut to 39 speakers overall, and so forth and so on, if the public portion will end after exactly 120 minutes.
O’Dea also wondered how only 40 or so speakers would be selected if 100 hands are raised on Zoom – the way all of the board’s meetings will be conducted until further notice after an 8-1 vote at a special meeting yesterday (Commissioner Fanny Cedeno (D-7) voted no).
