What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe Pasadena Star News reports the deadline to apply for the Altadena Town Council is approaching, and folks, I want you to think about what that means.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTalking point number one: you are being invited to volunteer for a job whose entire description is attending meetings. Really?

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTalking point number two: the first test is a form.

  4. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNot a vote, not a debate, a form, which means the winner is whoever can find a pen and a Tuesday.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTalking point number three: every one of you has said somebody should fix the streets, the parking, the whole thing. Well, somebody has a deadline now.

  6. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo here's where we land, folks.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe only thing in local government that moves fast is the deadline, and you can't even blame the council for that.

  8. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorComing up next, we follow up on reports of a calf displaying unusual pink hooves and red eyes: where was it seen?

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorGet the form in early, because the deadline is the one item on that agenda that won't be tabled.
