As contentious as last night's meeting may have been to the general public, when you've been through controversy as I have been I think (the council has) more in common if you're listening for it. It's hard through the clapping and yelling and shouting to hear what everybody is saying. I was trying to listen. That's a role I see as mine, to bring these very folks together to hear what they're saying.
