Kind of surprised at this. Would think any business owner has the right to be heard. Not only that, but who is the Council to decide if the public speaking option may cause grief? If there nor grief at all times when an opposing view is presented on anything?

I would say any Judge will make the Council have a public meeting on this. After all it is the Citizens right to be heard not just the business owners. You (The Council), have done more harm to public trust in the handling of this with your rush to judgment and denying citizens the right to be for or against this and be heard.

Sad road to see this go down for no reason other than it's appearance of a decision made before it was even presented. That is not how it works under our Federal or State Constitution.
