Comments on: Gajewski To Host Town Hall http://rockvillecentral.com/2008/02/gajewski-to-host-town-hall.html/ News and views on Rockville, Maryland since 2007 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 21:01:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Joseph http://rockvillecentral.com/2008/02/gajewski-to-host-town-hall.html/comment-page-1/#comment-456 Joseph Fri, 15 Feb 2008 17:25:00 +0000 http://rockvillecentral.com/2008/02/15/gajewski-to-host-town-hall/#comment-456 While I agree it is important to seek citizen input on critical issues, I don't agree that Mr. Gajewski should be having this meeting at City Hall. Mayor and Council meetings scheduled for this Monday (19th) and the following (25th) have been cancelled because of "insufficient business". It seems to me this affords the perfect opportunity to have a "Town Hall" kind of meeting involving all the mayor and council...maybe even some staff members. ><br/><br/>I'd like to know if Mr. Gajewski approached his fellow council members, asking if they would be interested in participating in such a forum. If he is acting on his own, I think he should conduct his meeting someplace other than City Hall, and at his own expense. While I am sure his intentions are good, some might see this, dare I say it, as grandstanding.
