What a bunch of clowns. This renaming was either completely unnecessary or a slam-dunk. The name "Kesey Square" has a lot of support, so I expected it to pass, though I could not understand the hand-wringing. Either way, it should have been a simple yes/no.

If they decide to once again name it after some minority person of modest accomplishment, then to hell with this city. Perhaps we can find some deceased homeless woman of color to name it after? That's an accomplishment fitting of this city council. (I realize this sounds harsh, but read what Jennifer Yeh says - she objects to naming it Kesey Square simply because Ken Kesey was a white man.)

And when will Claire Syrett do the honorable thing and resign? She is clearly too sick and/or wrapped up in other things to discharge her duties.
