Not a whole lot going on at Council this week. Honestly sometimes I hope for fireworks like the Covington City Council. Definitely great for news junkies and new media outlets, but not so much for the continuity and progress of the city.

Our buddies at The River City News do a great job chronicling the ongoing tomfoolery including a member’s drunken Facebook rant, a city commissioner being removed from office for her criminal record, and verbal outbursts between members and the mayor.

Ft. Thomas’ council meetings are not like that. Usually, council members outnumber citizens in the meetings. There is very little banter and almost never heated exchanges. Again, I guess this is what you want from your elected officials. All business, no nonsense. But is it so much to ask for a gavel tap, Mayor Brown? For me? Please?

Anyway, the biggest news from Council this week was the swearing in for new Police recruit, Nicholas Hoffman. Pat will have a story on this next week. Here’s the rest of the meeting’s rundown.
