“You know what ,it’s not worth it. Volunteering what’s the benefit to us. In the end they going to do whatever they want anyway.”
But they need somebody to say “no” so it appears to be a vigorous discussion.
The discussion will continue until folks get tired and leave, at which point they will vote to do what they wanted to do anyway.
You think they would vote no on a go go bar in town
