Check out Goodspeed’s comprehensive survey
Check out Goodspeed’s comprehensive survey on what the city council candidates who bothered to answer think about a variety of issues. Independent Jon Kinsey’s answers are especially interesting - he characterizes students as “typically myopic” and says that they’re “adequately represented in city government,” but we suppose he deserves some credit for answering the questionnaire.
A letter in the News quotes a sign at the new Barnes and Noble: “Caf Tables Are Reserved for Caf Customers Only. Students & Extended-Length Customers Are Welcome to Enjoy Caf Purchases in Our Study Area on the Second Floor. Thank You for Your Cooperation.”
So… you're not a cafe customer if you're going to take a couple hours to drink your chai tea? I cry foul.
