Government advising itself

At 9:30 this morning, I received a hot e-mail from the City of Portland, inviting me to an important event to take place... well, er, it already started at 8:

This Advisory Group, consisting of two PDC Commissioners, two City Commissioners, one County Commissioner, one Planning Commissioner, and one Citizen Member will serve as the recommending body to the PDC Commission for a possible 61-acre expansion of the River District Urban Renewal Area. Stakeholders panel discussion.
Don't tell me -- the "Citizen Member" is Chris Smith or one of Homer Williams's other nephews. And I love the "stakeholders" -- they're the ones driving the stake through the city's financial heart.

You can't make this stuff up.

It's just an advisory group - the PDC commissioners ultimately vote however they want regardless of the group's opinion.
